On Tuesday, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has passed legislation exempting energy equipment imports from customs duties and value-added tax (VAT).
According to Yaroslav Zheleznyak, the two bills, No. 11258 and No. 11259, received strong support with 305 and 313 votes respectively.
This move is set to ease the financial burden on importing essential energy equipment as Ukraine is bracing for a challenging cold season amid growing power shortages.
The exemptions will apply to the imports of:
- Electric generators
- Equipment for wind and solar energy
- All batteries, except small ones.
Additionally, the legislation extends duty-free and VAT-free status to imports of equipment for reconnaissance and and demining.
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.
