Ukraine's government has issued a stark ultimatum amid escalating conflict with Russia: citizens must choose between military service or contributing fully to the nation's tax revenues.
Prime Minister Denis Shmigal announced this directive as Kiev faces severe financial strains, compounded by its reliance on foreign aid and ongoing military expenses.
With state finances under pressure and a recent Fitch Ratings downgrade, Ukraine's latest policy aims to bolster revenue through increased labour market participation and tax contributions, reflecting the country's dire economic and strategic needs.
