The sale of flavored cigarettes, rolling tobacco, e-cigarettes, and e-liquids, as well as cigarette packs with “improper’ labeling, is now officially banned in Ukraine. This comes a year after Ukraine’s parliament passed the law 1978-XI, on July 11, 2023 that granted a one-year grace period for the sale of remaining stock.

The ban is seen as part of a broader effort to curb nicotine addiction and protect public health in Ukraine.

The law also has banned vaping products known as vitamin vapes over their unproven health claims

while manufacturers and distributors of e-cigarettes and tobacco products are now subject to tougher reporting requirements.

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.
