The focus of the Kyiv Economic Court has turned to the hotel ‘Salyut’, which was declared bankrupt due to huge debts. This enormous amount – 5.4 billion hryvnias – is the reason the company cannot find a way out of its financial troubles.

(UPDATE) SEN. Juan Miguel Zubiri said Thursday online gambling has expanded at a speed government regulators “failed to match,” with revenues jumping over 5,500 percent in the past four years.

“From 2020 to 2024, the industry grew by 5,564 percent. Unbelievable. And yet it is real,” Zubiri said during a Senate hearing on measures to deal with online gambling.

According to the survey from National Debt Relief — conducted by Talker Research…
