LOL...I think Ukraine has more pressing matters at the moment.
I’m sure the war is creating lots of widows and orphans ripe for trafficking.

The article in the OP is from January 2016 about a 2015 report that says just that.
While in 2015/16 Ukraine was still holding onto a tier 2 rating in spite of Russia, Russia itself had long lost the 2009 tier 2 rating and was a tier 3 trafficking nation.
From the OP source.
“Since 1991, over 160,000 men, women, and children have been exploited for labor, sex, forced begging, and organ removal, according to a mid-2015 report from the International Organization for Migration (IOM).”
“However, recent challenges—like Russia’s continued aggression in eastern Ukraine and the country’s 1.5 million internally displaced persons (IDPs)—have diverted the government’s attention and resources from meaningful anti-trafficking collaboration.”
