Despite fighting an existential war against Russia, Ukraine continues to make progress in the fight against online piracy. In a detailed submission to the U.S. government, Ukraine outlines various IP reforms, including proposed legislation that would pave the way for pirate site blocking. Ironically, the plans could put Ukraine ahead of the United States, which still lacks a ‘no fault’ site-blocking regime of its own.

This was probably a requirement of some sort. I doubt the government would bother with something like this on their own initiative.
That being said, there are some really good sources for “unofficial” content in Ukraine. All the major international and local streaming content and major blu-ray (Rips/Remuxes) release in one spot and with speeds that allow streaming torrents (at least in Ukraine).
Some of the more niche content can be difficult to find (smaller country, local sites have requirement that Ukrainian dub/VO/subs must be included in addition to the original audio track), but you’re not going to find that content on mainstream US media sources.
They have to choose their battles.
Who do you think owns Ukrainian government at this point? They funded their own twilight by selling government property, land, resource rights and legislative favors to multinationals. Zelensky et. al knows who brought them to power and has kept them there.
Also a side effect of their censorship and intercept infrastructure.
