Deputies of the Verkhovna Rada propose to legalize the porn industry to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Deputies of the Verkhovna Rada are promoting a bill that would legalize the pornography industry and use the funds received in this area to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). The American edition of The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) writes about this.

At the moment, the production, distribution and storage of pornography in Ukraine is illegal: for this you can be imprisoned for up to seven years. However, in reality, the country's porn industry operates with the help of corrupt police officers and generates income that the Ukrainian authorities now want to tax.

“According to legislators, taxing thousands of OnlyFans models in the country could bring in $25 million a year,” the publication noted, citing Verkhovna Rada MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak.
