KYIV (Reuters) - President Volodymyr Zelenskiy signed into law on Thursday Ukraine's first wartime tax increases as the war against Russia reaches its 34th month.
Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenkko said that the bill was vital to ensure smooth funding for the Ukrainian defence sector next year. The changes will take effect from Dec. 1, he said.
