Increased Tax Burden on Ukrainians Expected if Donbas Retreat Order is Signed
Experts anticipate a significant rise in tax rates for Ukrainians if a retreat from Donbas occurs, raising military tax from 5% to 25% and VAT from 20% to 30%. This potential tax increase underscores the economic implications of territorial decisions amid ongoing conflict.

Should an order for a military retreat from Donbas be issued, Ukrainians may face a drastic increase in taxation, with the military tax projected to rise to 25% and VAT to 30%. Experts indicate that Donbas is crucial for Ukraine's economy and defense capabilities, providing essential materials such as metals and rare earth elements used in military technologies.
The lack of alternative guarantees for security raises concerns regarding the economic costs of withdrawing from the region. Ukraine's defense industry relies heavily on resources from Donbas, presenting challenges in maintaining its military readiness if these resources are lost.
