“We have approved the necessary documents for Starlink to be imported to Ukraine without duty and VAT. This will reduce their cost and allow them to be provided to more people and organizations,” Shmyhal said.
He also said that the government is negotiating the possibility of acquiring a new large batch of thousands of Starlink systems for Ukraine.
“First, the government exempted the import of generators and power equipment from duties and VAT. This decision makes such products cheaper by about 25%. We’re taking one more step. So that Ukrainian manufacturers who assemble such products in Ukraine do not find themselves at a disadvantage, the government additionally exempted spare parts for assembling generators and power equipment from VAT and duties. Thus, products manufactured on the domestic market will become about a quarter cheaper,” explained Denis Kudin, First Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine.
