The number of orders for the recovery of alimony is 6% higher than in the previous year and 28% less than in 2021.

Opendatabot experts emphasized that this refers to the number of orders issued, not to the execution and actual payment of funds, i.e. only those cases where the court has already issued a document that can be submitted to the executive service. Also, more than 187 thousand child support debts are currently listed in the Unified Register of Debtors.

Earlier , analysts estimated that in Ukraine, the tourist tax in the first half of 2025 broke all records - local budgets received UAH 142.6 million, a third more than last year. Due to the war, Odesa lost almost half of the collection and lost ground to the leaders - Kyiv, Lviv, and Ivano-Frankivsk. In the first half of 2025, Odesa's tourist tax lagged far behind pre-war levels. According to the State Tax Service of Ukraine, local budgets across the country received a record 142.6 million hryvnias, which is a third more than last year.
