As of the end of October 2025, more than 2 million fines for traffic violations were recorded in Ukraine.

This was reported by the digital government data analysis service Opendatabot.

Moreover, 1.5 million fines for traffic violations, or 75% of the total number of such proceedings, were completed, although the debt is still "hanging" on the violators — due to the inability to collect the debt.
