Today, on 20 December, parliament adopted as a basis and as a whole bill 10341, which simplifies the import of electronic warfare (EW) equipment to Ukraine, according to MP Iryna Herashchenko.
"The Verkhovna Rada has exempted from VAT the import of components required for radar systems and electronic warfare equipment, simplifying their import," Herashchenko wrote.
She said that parliament adopted as a whole the Law on Amendments to paragraph 32 of subsection 2 of section XX "Transitional Provisions" of the Tax Code of Ukraine on the peculiarities of importing goods for security and defence needs into the customs territory of Ukraine #10341.
