Ukraine's government has issued a stark ultimatum amid escalating conflict with Russia: citizens must choose between military service or contributing fully to the nation's tax revenues.

With state finances under pressure and a recent Fitch Ratings downgrade, Ukraine's latest policy aims to bolster revenue through increased labour market participation and tax contributions, reflecting the country's dire economic and strategic needs.
