In Ukraine, from January through June 2026, 108,561 thousand new enforcement proceedings were initiated due to arrears in housing and utility services, according to data from the Unified Register of Debtors published by Opendatabot on August 3.
70,206 thousand cases remain open and unpaid, or 65% of those initiated this year. They account for about 9% of all utility debts currently recorded in the registry.
In total, as of early July, the Unified Register of Debtors contained 829,768 thousand cases related to utility debt. For comparison: in November 2025, there were 794,604 thousand; in July 2024, 701,051 thousand; and in January 2021, 344,565 thousand.
Thus, over five and a half years, the number of utility debt entries has increased by approximately 2.4 times.
About 62% of the cases in the registry are formally closed, but this does not necessarily mean that the debt has been repaid. An enforcement officer may close a case due to the impossibility of collection or for other reasons, while the debt record remains in the registry.
Some cases have remained open for more than nine years. Among the oldest cases are a heating debt owed by a resident of the Chernihiv region and a debt for water supply and sewer services owed by a resident of the Lviv region.
However, the number of enforcement proceedings does not equal the number of unique debtors: multiple cases may be opened against a single person regarding different services or periods of debt.
The Unified Register of Debtors contains information on individuals and legal entities against whom enforcement proceedings have been initiated. You can check for an entry through the state register or the Opendatabot service.

According to Interfax-Ukraine, the relative level of gas reserves in European storage facilities has reached its lowest value on this date in recorded history.
Previously, the all-time low for storage levels at this time of year was recorded in 2021 (the pandemic impacted the industry’s capacity). However, since the start of the injection season, the 2026 trend has steadily been closing the gap with the previous record low.
The average level of gas reserves in Europe’s underground storage facilities reached 57.11% at the end of the gas day on August 1, according to data from Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE), the association of European gas infrastructure operators. The reserve level on the same date in 2021 was slightly higher—57.28%. A day earlier, the figures were different: as of July 31, 2026, the level stood at 56.88% (higher), while as of July 31, 2021, it was 56.83% (lower).
Natural gas storage levels in Europe are a key indicator for the global gas market. The total capacity of the EU’s storage system is 109 billion cubic meters of active gas. Collectively, Europe has become the largest importer in the global LNG market. Gas Infrastructure Europe brings together operators active in the transportation and storage of natural gas, as well as LNG. The statistical database covers the operation of underground natural gas storage infrastructure since 2011, and the receipt and regasification of LNG since 2012. Gas days in the European gas industry are counted starting at 6:00 a.m. Central European Time (CET).
Renewable sources are expected to contribute to the EU’s energy balance. Since the beginning of August 2026, wind power in Europe has been meeting an average of 10% of electricity demand, according to the WindEurope association. A year ago, in August 2025, the contribution of wind power plants stood at 14%.
Europe is also actively importing liquefied natural gas (LNG). However, in August 2026, gas imports from abroad are down 7% compared to last year’s level. LNG imports in August 2026 may drop to 6.9 million metric tons.
The spot price for “next-day” delivery at the benchmark European TTF hub closed at $696 per 1,000 cubic meters on Friday, up from an average of $626 in July.
