ROADPOL forces in states neighboring or close to Ukraine have been strongly affected by the raging war and its consequences.

From Finland in the north to Bulgaria in the south road police units have been actively engaged with activities directly or collaterally caused by the conflict and the growing refugee crisis resulting from it. Convoy escorting, helping with car breakdowns, ensuring road safety in border areas, distributing food and supplies and taking general care of the refugees are among their recent assignments. Read more
