In the first half of 2025, the Unified Register of Debtors recorded 375,810 cases of non-payment of traffic fines. Although the figure has slightly decreased compared to last year, it remains significantly higher than the pre-war level. The capital ranks first in terms of the number of proceedings, and there are more and more women among the debtors. In 2025, they already account for 21% of all cases, up from 8% on the eve of the full-scale.
375,810 debts for non-payment of traffic fines – this is the number of cases recorded in the Unified Register of Debtors in the first half of 2025. This is less than last year, but still a third more than in 2023. Compared to the period before the outbreak of full-scale war, the number of debts and violations has increased most significantly, by as much as 2.5 times.
Since the start of the full-scale war, not only has the number of unpaid fines increased, but the gender distribution of drivers has also changed, both quantitatively and percentage-wise. The proportion of women who owe a traffic fine on time is growing year after year. If in the first half of 2021, women accounted for only 8% of proceedings, this year it is already 21%.
Men aged 25-45 are the most likely to violate and fail to pay fines in Ukraine, accounting for 41% of all proceedings.
Among the regions, Kyiv is the leader in traffic violations – 12% or 43,654 proceedings. It is followed by Dnipropetrovs’k region – 36,879 or 10% and Odesa region – 29,502 or 8%.
In total, the Unified Register of Debtors contains 1.8 million unpaid debts due to traffic violations. The vast majority – 1.7 million – are men.
It is worth noting that the URB is a non-static register, in which some debts are closed, while new ones may appear in their place. Therefore, these figures reflect the situation as of early July 2025.
