Ukraine Considers Decriminalising Pornography to Boost Tax Revenue Amid War
Ukraine is considering decriminalising pornography to integrate a largely underground industry into the formal economy and generate an estimated $25 million in tax revenue. A bill passed its first parliamentary reading with strong support and is scheduled for a second. Advocates, including OnlyFans creator Svitlana Dvornikova, argue legalisation would enable creators to pay taxes and support Ukraine's wartime budget, potentially funding military equipment. Currently, pornography production and possession are criminal offences punishable by up to seven years in prison.
