Ukraine Weighs Legalizing Pornography to Raise Tax Revenue for Military Drones

Ukraine’s parliament is weighing a bill to legalize pornography, arguing that regulation could generate up to $25 million annually in tax revenue. Supporters say the money could help fund roughly 30,000 military drones and reduce corruption by bringing a large underground industry into the legal economy. The proposal has passed its first parliamentary vote and awaits a second reading. Critics question the measure’s social impact and revenue estimates, while advocates say Ukraine needs domestic funding sources as the war continues.
