“Things are about to get harder for opiate users in Crimea, the former Ukrainian province now annexed by Russia. While Ukraine has embraced a harm reduction approach to hard drug use, Russia rejects such an approach and has some of the most repressive drug laws in the world. On Wednesday, Russian ‘drug czar’ Viktor Ivanov — one of 31 allies of Pres. Vladimir Putin sanctioned by the US government this month — announced that Russia will ban the use of methadone in Crimea. That comes after vows a week before that he would move away from harm reduction practices in general in Crimea.”
