This won't help them much because increasing VAT decreases revenue from income tax. If you have a stream and there's a certain amount of water flowing, you can only redirect some of it somewhere else, but you won't increase the total volume. If you make people pay more VAT, you increase price of all goods and services, making people buy less. This decreases the revenue from sales by business owners, and this as a result will lead to these guys paying less income tax and possibly considering layoffs. High VAT is bad for economy, especially when the country is already struggling. Probably they'll keep fighting hoping that Ukraine runs out of people before Russia runs out of money and weapons. That's how things are looking right now. Ukraine is getting weapons and ammo from the West, but has less and less people willing to fight, while Russia has a lot of meat to throw at Ukrainians, but running out of supplies, especially vehicles and fuel for them.
