Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced plans to legalize gambling in the country. Speaking at a Ukrainian-Turkish forum in Istanbul, Zelensky stated that legalizing casinos in five-star hotels would stimulate the development of the tourism cluster in the Black Sea region. He had previously discussed the idea of creating a Ukrainian version of Las Vegas during his presidential campaign, suggesting that legalizing gambling and prostitution in a designated area could boost the local economy and generate tax revenue.
