Russian propaganda media and social networks spread this thesis. The reports say that in Norway, they allegedly declared that Ukrainian refugees "have to survive at the expense of sex work."

Kremlin media refer to the Norwegian television company NRK. However, such statements are gross manipulation. As StopFake writes, the Russian mass media made a manipulative generalization based on the third-party opinions of several women standing in line for food at a volunteer center in Norway.

The Norwegian media did not write about it as a dominant trend among Ukrainian refugees or as confirmed cases of sex work "for survival." At the same time, international organizations point out that Russia's war in Ukraine has increased the risk of human trafficking when vulnerable groups of people become victims, particularly refugees.
