For some time past the mechanism of arriving of illegal migrants to Ukraine is rather changed. Until the year 2008 the majority of them got to Ukraine illegally, so nowadays 65-70% of them come to the territory of Ukraine by legal way. The reasons of such structural change are complex measures carried out on the state level by all law enforcement bodies the work of which is directed upon the stop of illegal move through the border by illegal migrants. Herewith, the law enforcement agents do not set as a principle the fight against the number of these citizens illegally coming to the territory of our country but concentrate their efforts upon the fight against the organized channels of these migrants’ moving. It is rather easy to get to Ukraine today having tourist, private and especially student visa. The biggest problem is with students who getting student visa arrive to Ukraine, pay big money for studies at universities but never arrive there. They intend to cross illegally the western border of Ukraine at once willing to get to the countries of European Union.

Possible inconsiderable increase in transit of illegal migrants through Ukraine can take place because of riots in the countries of Africa, the Near and Middle East

The number of illegal migrants using Ukraine as a transit way to the countries of European Union is sufficiently reduced. On April 13, 2011 the first deputy of the head of State Border Service Pavlo Shysholin spoke about these facts during the on-line-conference. Not only statistics convincingly testifies about this as well as data on the number of illegal migrants detained at the border of our country by border departments of Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania – during the years 2008-2010 this quantity lessened in 2-2,5 times. The further reduction of these indexes is prognosticated. The single thing nowadays into which corrections to our evaluating predictions can be put is that revolutions, mass actions against power in some countries of Africa, the Near and Middle East. Probably, they can cause the decrease in the number of illegal migrants who will make their way through the territory of Ukraine. However, today we can see that main flows of people who escape these countries go through Balkan way. And so-called Easter way passing through the territory of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus to the countries of European Union becomes of minor importance according to official evaluations, – stated Pavlo Shysholin.
