Today, a petition on the subject of casinos – online gaming platforms – very quickly got the necessary votes. About how common it is and how it affects parts of society. I ordered the head of the Security Service of Ukraine, the State Special Communications Service, the Ministry of Digital Development and the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council to collect all analytics on this issue and propose a solution next week,” said by Zelensky. .
We are talking about petition No. 22/223008-ep, registered by a soldier of the 59th brigade, Pavel Petrichenko. The author of the petition drew attention to the damage that the gambling business is causing to the Ukrainian army and Ukrainian society in general.
“For three years now, military personnel have been away from their families, in stressful conditions and without opportunities for proper rest, so they are very psychologically vulnerable. For many of them, the gambling is the only way to cope with stress, and therefore quickly causes dopamine addiction and weakens their self-control. Gambling “businesses take advantage of this weakness by deliberately directing their advertising to the staff of military, using symbols of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in their online casinos, and “whitewashing” their activities with small charitable donations to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the petition said.
We remind you that it was also said in the video message that Danilov will be ambassador to Moldova.
