India Today reports that Ukraine is considering the legalisation and taxation of its underground pornography industry to help finance its defense efforts against Russia. According to the article, a bill has passed its first parliamentary reading, with co-author Yaroslav Zhelezniak estimating it could generate up to 25 million dollars annually to purchase thousands of drones.
