On average, the TCC opens 4.5 thousand new proceedings every month. However, July was a record-breaking month with 7,595 openings. The lion’s share of July fines fell on the capital: 26% or 1,999 proceedings.
In total, 18 regions of Ukraine already have more than a thousand open proceedings in 2025. Kyiv is the absolute leader with 7,163 proceedings (15%). It was followed by Sumy (4,251 or 9%), Odesa (3,995 or 9%), Dnipro (3,846 or 8%), and Kharkiv (3,349 or 7%) regions.

The vast majority of those fined were men aged 25 to 45 (80% of cases), while women accounted for 98 cases, which is only 0.2% of the total. It is worth noting that since July 31, 2025, a new mechanism for registering women with medical or pharmaceutical education has been in place – since then, 26 proceedings have been opened against women under the new rules.
The record holder in terms of activity was the Sumy City MCC, which opened 9 proceedings against two men this year, as well as 8 proceedings against another man. This is currently the largest number of fines per person in the country.

In Poland from the beginning of 2026, a significant increase in the size of fines for the absence of a valid policy of compulsory insurance of civil liability of the driver for owners of vehicles is expected, reports the Motor (Transport) Insurance Bureau of Ukraine (MTSBU) on its Facebook page.
So for passenger cars the maximum fine will be 9,610 thousand zlotys (approximately 110 thousand UAH), for trucks – up to 14,420 thousand zlotys (approximately 165 thousand UAH), for motorcycles – from 530 to 1600 zlotys (6-18 thousand UAH) depending on the number of days without coverage.
The amount of the fine varies depending on the period of stay without an insurance policy: 1-3 days – PLN 1,920 thousand (UAH 22 thousand); 4-14 days – PLN 4,810 thousand (UAH 55 thousand); more than 14 days – the full amount of PLN 9,610 thousand (UAH 110 thousand).
According to information, the increase in fines is due to the increase in the minimum wage in Poland to PLN 4,806 thousand (UAH 55 thousand) from January 1, 2026. The system of calculating fines is tied to its size:
MTSBU reminds Ukrainian drivers who are in Poland or planning to travel abroad: be sure to check the validity of the insurance certificate “Green Card” and timely renew it.
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.
In order to avoid being included in the Register of Debtors and the risk of card blocking, check and pay traffic fines in Opendatabot in a timely manner – or subscribe to free monitoring and get the information as soon as it appears in the registers. If the fine is not paid within 15 days, its amount increases by 2 times.
The Spanish authorities are tightening control over the short-term rental market in popular resorts such as Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza.
The essence of the new rules
The maximum fine for illegal rentals will increase to €500,000, which is 25% more than the previous limit. At the same time, fines will be differentiated: minor violations, such as lack of registration, may result in a warning or a fine of €5,000, while systematic violations, including rentals in protected natural areas or repeat offenses, will be punishable by fines of up to €50,000–500,000.
At the same time, a freeze on new tourist rental licenses is being introduced to stop the uncontrolled growth of supply. The authorities are also offering violators an alternative: if the owner agrees to transfer the apartment or house to the state for five years for use as social housing, the fine can be reduced by 80%.
Why these measures are necessary
The Balearic Islands have been dealing with the effects of mass tourism for a few years now. Because of illegal rentals, housing prices have skyrocketed, and locals are finding it harder and harder to rent apartments in their own towns. In places such as Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza Town, and Ciutadella, residential areas are gradually being transformed into tourist zones, causing protests among the population.
In addition, the uncontrolled flow of vacationers puts a strain on transportation, utilities, and the environment. In response to these problems, the Balearic Islands government is not only tightening penalties but also expanding the powers of inspection authorities. Now, not only municipal services but also the national police, the Guardia Civil, will be involved in enforcement.
Consequences for tourists and property owners
For tourists, the new rules may mean fewer rental options, especially on platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com, where unlicensed listings are actively removed. It is now extremely important for property owners to check the legal status of their rentals to avoid huge fines.
Will similar measures be introduced in other regions
The experience of the Balearic Islands could set a precedent for other European tourist destinations such as Barcelona, Amsterdam, and Venice, which are also experiencing tourist oversaturation and an affordable housing crisis. If strict rental controls prove effective, other countries and cities may adopt this regulatory model.
Only 39% of overdue fines have been paid this year
The number of debts for fines issued due to violations of military registration rules is growing in Ukraine. According to the Ministry of Justice, more than 21 thousand proceedings for violation of military registration were recorded in Ukraine in 10 months of 2024. This is already 2 times more than in the whole of 2023. Only one in three overdue fines has been paid this year. The vast majority of debts are owed by men, but there are currently more fines for women.
21,336 debts for fines due to violations of military registration rules were opened in Ukraine this year. This is 2 times more than for the whole of last year: 10,542 proceedings were registered in the Register then.
You cancheck the fines from the Transfer Pricing Commission that have been enforced in the Opendatabot.
Only one in three proceedings was closed this year, which means that the fine was paid. For comparison, out of 10,542 debts for fines from the TCC last year, 72% of cases were closed.
The overwhelming majority of debts are registered against men – 21,161 proceedings, or 99%. However, there are more women who have fines for violating the rules of military registration. Over the year, the number of proceedings against women increased 1.4 times: from 121 last year to 175 this year.
As a reminder, on October 1, 2023, military registration became mandatory in Ukraine for women in certain professions aged 18 to 60. To avoid a fine, women had to register by July 17, 2024.
It should be noted that debtors are subject to a number of restrictions, such as opening new bank accounts, blocking current ones, inability to register various transactions through notaries, etc. At the same time, such penalties also have image implications, as the register is public, and therefore the information in it can be checked, in particular, by employers when hiring.

Scooter riders guilty of an accident are fined from 340 UAH to 17 thousand UAH and deprived of their driver’s license
At least 130 cases of accidents involving electric scooters have been considered in courts over the past 5 years, according to the court register search engine Babusya. 34% of them were considered in 2023. Scooter drivers can be fined from UAH 340 to UAH 17,000 for violations and lose their driver’s license for a year.
111 administrative and 22 criminal cases related to accidents with electric scooters were found in the court register as of July 2024.
The largest number of accidents involving scooters was recorded last year: 36 administrative and 10 criminal cases. However, the number of such proceedings is only increasing from year to year: more criminal cases have already been opened this year than in the entire year of 2021. Since the beginning of this year, the courts have already heard at least 16 administrative and 3 criminal cases involving scooters.
The most common types of accidents where scooter drivers are to blame are pedestrian collisions or property damage. In such cases, drivers mostly get off with a fine of UAH 340 to 850.
At the same time, the number of cases when scooter drivers are caught driving while intoxicated is increasing. For example, last year, a driver of a rented scooter hit a woman on the sidewalk. During the test, he was found to have 0.9 ppm of alcohol, which is about the same as after drinking 250 ml of vodka. The offender was fined UAH 17 thousand and deprived of his driver’s license for a year.
However, violators cannot always be fully prosecuted: drivers may not have a driver’s license and simply do not know the traffic rules. For example, a courier on an electric scooter rushing to deliver an order with 0.33 ppm in his bloodstream argued in court that he was sober and that the scooter was not a vehicle. However, these arguments did not help him avoid a fine of UAH 17 thousand. The driver’s license could not be confiscated, as required by law, because the offender never had one.
Our editorial team asked how the scooter rental business reacts to such statistics. Bolt and Jet companies said that the law does not require scooter riders to have a driver’s license, but according to the rules of their services, the driver must be an adult. It is worth noting that the services do not require documentary proof of age: users must enter their date of birth during registration.
Both companies noted that all trips are insured against damage to life or property of third parties. At the same time, if a minor is involved in an accident and pretends to be older when registering (as in the case of a teenager who rammed a car in Kyiv), the consequences of the accident are either not covered by insurance at all (Jet) or, depending on the circumstances, the service reserves the right to make a final decision (Bolt).
“At themoment, it is very important to develop clear and understandable traffic rules for electric scooters and liability for their violation at the legislative level. We don’t track all incidents with electric scooters, but we do monitor insurance claims – this year it is less than 0.001% of all trips,” comments Anton Milka, Head of Sharing Services Development at Bolt in Ukraine.
Context
As a reminder, in 2023, scooter drivers were legally recognized as full-fledged road users – but special rules for them have not yet been approved. Drivers of electric scooters, monowheels, etc. must move as far to the right of the roadway as possible, use reflective elements and helmets. At the same time, such vehicles are prohibited from driving on sidewalks and pedestrian paths.
