(ANSA) - BELGRADE, FEB 5 - The end of the war in Ukraine could spark an explosion of international organised crime, which is why Kiev would require "massive support" to ensure its security, according to Polish President Andrzej Duda, in an interview with the Financial Times. The president, who is nearing the end of his second term, is concerned that crime will spill over the border from Ukraine to Poland, affecting Western Europe and the United States. "Just remember when the Soviet Union collapsed and how much the rate of organised crime increased in Western Europe, but also in the United States," Duda said, drawing a parallel with the situation in Russia in the early 1990s, when violence was rampant among veterans of the decade-long Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.
