As part of the latest changes to the gambling legislation in Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed support for the petition of military personnel who expressed concerns about the growth of gambling addiction among military personnel in the region.
The new rules Zelenskyy signed over the weekend will not only ban gambling for military personnel, but will also tighten restrictions on gambling advertising in the region.
In addition, the new system will also introduce mandatory loss limits for gamblers in the region and expand medical support for those suffering from gambling addiction.
Pavlo Petrychenk, a serviceman from Ukraine’s 56th Brigade, stated: “Military personnel have been away from their families for the third year, in stressful conditions and without the possibility of full rest, so they are especially psychologically vulnerable. For many of them, gambling becomes the only way to cope with stress, and therefore quickly causes dopamine addiction and weakens their self-control.”
