Decriminalization of pornography in Ukraine
Last year, the parliamentary committee on law enforcement supported draft law No. 12191 on “decriminalization of pornography” with 11 votes in favor. The document should amend Article 301 of the Criminal Code regarding the storage and distribution of content of an intimate nature.
People’s Deputy Zheleznyak explained that it is about the decriminalization of pornography, because it is legalized, and Ukraine has been collecting millions of taxes from the same OnlyFans for a couple of years.
People’s Deputy briefly said what is expected: “We are simply changing Article 301 of the Criminal Code so that adults are not thrown in prison for 3-5 years for filming and distributing videos of an intimate nature. That’s all.”
In January of this year, the head of the National Police, Ivan Vyhivskyi, stated that the National Police does not support the initiative to decriminalize pornography.
Vyhivskyi noted that the bill needs to be finalized and contradicts some laws.
He reported that almost 2,000 criminal offenses were registered in 2024 under Art. 301-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Child pornography).
“All this legalization will lead to the fact that all this will be available to adults. Now there is a war and the Russians are destabilizing the situation with various cyber attacks, hybrid attacks, so this may become an additional area for their speculation,” Vyhivskyi believes.
Also, in his opinion, this will have a negative impact on moral values, especially children.
