Due to the 2022 invasion, there is a growing interest in Ukraine as human trafficking cases increase. Results of the study showed that the main victimising factor was not material difficulties as commonly believed. The transgenerational trauma identified by psychologists was caused by the Holodomor in Ukraine in 1932-1933. Also, one of the causes is the comparable consequences of other Soviet repressions against the Ukrainian people, including the destruction of the identity of Ukrainians across many generations. This study may be useful in the context of studying human trafficking, migration, refugees and the demographic consequences of the war in Ukraine.
