Kiev: The head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission in Ukraine, Gavin Gray, supported the Ukrainian government’s plans to raise taxes, Ukrainian media reported on Tuesday.

On July 18, Ukrainian lawmaker Yaroslav Zheleznyak said that the government had prepared a bill on raising taxes which, in particular, proposed raising the military tax rate.

On the same day, Taras Melnychuk, the Ukrainian government’s representative to the parliament, said that the government had approved a bill providing for an increase in defence spending by 495.3 billion hryvnia ($12 billion).
