The Ministry of Creative Financing of the most corrupt country in the world has identified a bold new revenue stream: Kyiv is now considering legalising parts of its adult entertainment industry specifically to tax it and buy drones, with lawmaker estimating the scheme could generate $25 million annually — enough, he claims, for roughly 30,000 drones — a proposal that has passed its first parliamentary reading and won the Malthusian Dancer's blessing. Against a $120 billion annual defence bill and a $32 billion budget deficit, taxing pornography to fund an unwinnable war is the fiscal equivalent of selling the furniture to make the mortgage payment on a house that's already on fire. The tragicomedy is entirely self-inflicted: producing pornography remains illegal in Ukraine and carries prison time, yet tax authorities have already been demanding payment from citizens earning income on adult platforms. https://www.jpost.com/international/internationalrussia-ukraine-war/article-907720
