19 June 2026, during a large-scale anti-narcotics special operation of the National Police of Ukraine called “Rubicon” in Bukovina, a large clandestine drug laboratory was dismantled. It was officially reported that more than 52 kg of “Alpha-PVP” were seized and a supply channel to various regions of Ukraine was shut down.
What's interesting is this: according to my information, the local law enforcement officers were not the initiators of this operation, but the case simply led to Chernivtsi during documentation.
There is a journalist in the city, Serhiy Kachmarskyi, who spoke openly about the drug problem. However, later his “mouth was shut,” and he shifted to covering developers. Sources claim that this was connected to obtaining protection from mobilization and assistance in processing disability paperwork.
More questions are raised by information from a criminal police officer. According to him, among the servicemen involved in drug distribution, the number of such cases is increasing. It is asserted that part of the product was initially sent to the front, and then its distribution expanded into rear areas as well—specifically through Nova Poshta postal shipments and courier “dead drops.”
According to the source, the data on some senders are known to law enforcement, but there are directives from above not to document servicemen in order to avoid discrediting them. Instead, they are to conduct preventive conversations. My question is: don't those conversations lead to joint business ventures?
It is worth noting that on 24 September 2026, at a session of the Chernivtsi City Council, councilwoman Antonina Babyuk publicly spoke about a serious situation with drugs, saying that while walking the city's streets she was shocked by what she saw. This same woman also tried to fight a brothel that had opened near her home, but after a showy search with KORD fighters the establishment continued to operate.
