Ukraine is considering dismantling its ban on pornography as lawmakers seek to bring a large online adult industry into the tax system and redirect millions of dollars toward the country’s wartime needs.
Yaroslav Zhelezniak, an opposition lawmaker who chairs Parliament’s finance committee, estimates legalization could generate as much as $25 million a year, according to The Wall Street Journal.
He says that would be enough to finance about 30,000 drones.
The sum is modest against Ukraine’s stated annual defense requirement of $120 billion.
However, supporters argue the industry is already generating taxable income while operating under laws that expose creators to criminal prosecution.
A bill co-authored by Zhelezniak passed its first parliamentary vote in July and is awaiting a second reading.
