Zelenskyy proposes non-standard solutions to fill the state budget.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes that Ukrainian men who have gone abroad should pay taxes in Ukraine. According to him, some citizens left Ukraine and did not return to their former places of employment. However, they still must pay taxes to the Ukrainian budget because these funds help finance the army.

Also, Zelenskyy would like European social assistance for refugees to be diverted to the Ukrainian budget.

“There are such situations where a person leaves Ukraine and receives help from Germany and Ukraine as well. It would be much better for us if Germany supported Ukrainians by providing money to the Ukrainian budget. And then Ukraine could redistribute this money depending on where this person is located,” he said in an interview with a German TV channel.

The German government is still discussing the issue of providing assistance to men of draft age who have left Ukraine.
