Ukraine extends export ban on salt, gas, and gold into 2025

Ukraine’s government has approved a list of goods subject to export and import licensing and quotas for 2024 extending the ban on exporting certain items through 2025. Among those are salt, domestically produced natural gas, gold, silver, and precious metal scrap.
The government said these restrictions aim to prevent shortages of critical goods in the domestic market. For instance, the country faced shortage of salt after Russian troops occupied Soledar, prompting the continued export licensing and quota regime for salt. The bans will be reviewed once the domestic market stabilizes.
Exports of coking coal of grade “K,” fuel oil, and certain agricultural products will also require licensing. Among other things that fall undes the quota policies are grain and oilseeds exported to Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland. A similar policy applies to exports of sugar and poultry meat to EU countries.
For imports, the government has imposed quotas and licensing requirements for ozone-depleting substances, fluorinated greenhouse gases, and products that may contain them.
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.
