Ukraine’s border guard service say they have seized 300,000 medical masks and respirators being smuggled out of the country.
They raided an outlet in the Ukrainian state of Kharkiv and apprehended the suspects who are believed to have been selling medical masks and respirators at artificially low prices.
The Ukrainian government put a ban on exporting anti-epidemic goods including masks, on March 11 to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
