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. Prime Minister Denis Shmigal announced this directive as Kiev faces severe financial strains, compounded by its reliance on foreign aid and ongoing military expenses. 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.

In a bold declaration during an hour-long interview with former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan, Donald Trump praised the Russian military's prowess, citing their historical victories over Germany and Napoleon. The former U.S. President vowed to resolve the Ukraine conflict by the end of the year if re-elected. Trump criticized the disproportionate share of military aid provided by the U.S. and urged greater contributions from European NATO members. His comments, which also include a lament about depleted U.S. ammunition stockpiles, are poised to impact the ongoing debate on U.S. foreign policy and military strategy.

Director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies Paul Johnson said neither party was being honest in the election about raising taxes after Keir Starmer warned autumn's Budget would be "painful." "They've said they won't increase income tax, national insurance, VAT or corporation tax. Three-quarters of our tax revenue comes from those four taxes and if they're not going to raise those, it leaves them with a very limited number of options," Mr Johnson said. Report by Kennedyl.

Germany is Ukraine’s biggest European supporter, in financing and arms, for Kyiv’s fight against Russia. However, the latest budget proposal for next year shows significant cuts in aid to Ukraine.
