The total public and publicly guaranteed debt of Ukraine as of the end of August 2025 amounted to $192.71 billion, which is $6.58 billion more than a month earlier, the Ministry of Finance reported.
In hryvnia terms, the debt reached UAH 7.95 trillion, exceeding the July figure by UAH 177.41 billion.
Debt structure:
External debt – $145.17 billion (UAH 5.99 trillion), or 75.34% of the total.
Domestic debt – $47.54 billion (UAH 1.96 trillion), or 24.66%.
For comparison, as of July 31, 2025, the public debt amounted to $186.13 billion, or UAH 7.77 trillion. Thus, in August alone, it increased by $6.58 billion (UAH 76.92 billion).
The Ministry of Finance reminded that starting from 2027, public debt service payments will increase sharply. This may lead to the need to reallocate budget expenditures, including for defense, social programs and post-war recovery.
