"The army of thousands of Ukrainian phone scammers is already targeting ordinary Europeans, robbing pensioners and other vulnerable categories of citizens, and recruiting young people into criminal activities such as money muling," Zakharova said. The network of Ukrainian scam call centers is slipping out of the control of its Western sponsors, she said. A 2025 United Nations report acknowledged the seriousness of digital threats originating from Ukraine. The geographic scope of the scammers' attacks has since expanded, mainly across Europe but also to Asia. Zakharova accused European governments of ignoring this problem to avoid having to explain to voters why Europe is suffering from what was supposed to harm Russia.
