There are no official detention facilities in airports; however, there are temporary detention facilities (MTT) managed by the SBGS.

In the territory of Ukraine, third-country nationals, among them asylum seekers, are detained in specialised facilities – Migrant Custody Centres – which are State bodies.[1] The temporary stay facility is managed by the SMS.[2]
