Ukraine Considers Legalizing Porn Industry to Fund Its War: Report

Summary
Ukraine is considering legalizing and taxing an industry that currently operates largely outside the formal economy, potentially generating up to $25 million in annual revenue that could be directed toward the country’s mounting defense needs, the Wall Street Journal reported. A bill that would legalize pornography in Ukraine is awaiting a second reading in parliament after passing its first vote in July. Supporters are framing the proposal partly as a way to bring an existing online industry into the tax system at a time when Kyiv faces enormous wartime spending requirements.
