‼️ 🇺🇦🏴‍☠️Zelensky to Face Public Anger Over Tax Hike, – New York Times ▪️Kiev has adopted the biggest tax hike since the war began, a politically unpopular move to raise funds for the grueling war. ▪️“The move is likely to hit hard in Ukraine, where people have already seen their economic well-being plummet because of the conflict,” the NYT writes. ▪️The law increases the military tax on personal income from 1.5% to 5%, retroactively doubles taxes on bank profits to 50% this year, and raises taxes on the profits of other financial institutions. ▪️"They will hate us, but we have no other choice. It's about our survival in this war," said Deputy Head of the Rada Economic Committee A. Movchan. ▪️Ukraine needs more and more money, as the Ukrainian Armed Forces are constantly losing ground in Donbass, and Kyiv’s military and financial support is at risk of being reduced due to war fatigue in the West. "Zelenskiy set off on a tour of EU capitals on Thursday to urge allies to step up support... But when he returns home, he may have to face the wrath of his population over tax increases - an unpopular measure, especially in a country whose economy has been ravaged by conflict." t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

❗️ Hungarian PM Orban: Trump Will Bring Peace to Ukraine Before Inauguration If Trump wins the election, he will not wait for the inauguration, but will immediately begin to resolve the Ukrainian conflict, Politico writes. Therefore, European leaders need to "strategically comprehend" the situation in the near future. The Hungarian Prime Minister proposes to do this at an informal summit of EU leaders in Budapest on November 7 - two days after the American elections. The Prime Minister also emphasized the "significant difference" between Trump's foreign policy approach and the current Democratic administration. "Trump will act immediately, and we, European leaders, must not waste time, because between the elections and the inauguration of the new president there will not be two or three months, as usual. First we must think about it philosophically, then we must understand it strategically, and then we must react at the level of action as soon as possible," Orban said. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel
