Are cannabis-based drugs going to be soon available in Ukrainian drug stores? Ukrainian MP Olha Stefanyshyna revealed on Wednesday that the first marijuana-based medication can be legally prescribed in Ukraine as early as January 2025.
Stefanyshyna, who sits on the parliamentary medical care committee, said:
“From what I understand, the first registration of a medical cannabis drug is already in progress. We are hopeful that it will be completed in December and that prescriptions for real medical cannabis-based drugs will start in January.”
She added tbat Ukraine now has the necessary regulatory framework in place for medical cannabis products, but they are not yet available on the market.
“Currently, everything is in place for patients to receive medical cannabis-based drugs, except for the cannabis itself. Beyond the regulatory system, someone needs to register these drugs in Ukraine,” Stefanyshyna explained.
Getting off the ground an electronic tracking system monitoring cannabis “from seed to pills ‘ has been the hardest part of the cannabis-based drug regulation policy, but the system is now fully operational, added Stefanyshyna.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
