The Ukrainian mafia (Ukrainian: Українська мафія) refers to loosely connected criminal organizations and networks originating and operating in Ukraine, involved in a wide range of illegal activities such as drug trafficking, arms smuggling, money laundering, extortion, and corruption. Unlike traditional mafias with rigid hierarchies, these groups often operate through decentralized and fluid alliances, both within Ukraine and internationally.
