Prime Minister of Ukraine Hopes Ukrainian Parliament will Support to Bill

In the short presentation by Honcharuk, the Prime Minister announced his backing of the bill. However, his task to convince the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine’s Parliament, will also support the bill that would legalize gambling in the country. 

Additionally, he would like to see a civilized gambling system created which will then be taxed and potentially bring in substantial revenue to the state’s budget. 

As mentioned before, President Zelensky had also given his thoughts about the idea of a possible Ukrainian gambling market emerging and instructed Parliament to implements legislation by the 1^st of December.
