The total amount of public debt exceeds 181 billion euros
According to the Ministry of Finance, as of May 31, 2026, the state and state-guaranteed debt of Ukraine amounted to UAH 9.33 trillion, or 181.3 billion euros ($210.7 billion).
The largest share of the debt structure is the state external debt — 7.08 trillion UAH, or 75.9% of the total volume. The state domestic debt is almost UAH 1.99 trillion (21.3%), and the state-guaranteed debt is UAH 261.1 billion, which corresponds to 2.8% of the total figure.
Since the beginning of the year, the debt has decreased in euros and dollars
Compared to the beginning of 2026, the public debt decreased by 71 million euros and 2.7 billion dollars.
At the same time, in national currency, its volume increased by UAH 282.9 billion. The Ministry of Finance explains this primarily by the exchange rate revaluation of external debt obligations due to a change in the exchange rate.
Compared to April, the total debt also decreased — by UAH 20 billion and $1.3 billion.
State-guaranteed debt continues to decrease
In the first five months of the year, the state-guaranteed debt decreased by UAH 15.6 billion — from UAH 276.7 billion to UAH 261.1 billion.
Its share in the structure of the total state debt also decreased — from 3.06% to 2.80%. Guaranteed foreign debt decreased the most, while guaranteed domestic debt increased slightly due to an increase in the volume of state guarantees.
The main creditor of Ukraine remains the European Union
The largest share of government liabilities is loans from international financial organizations and governments of foreign countries. They form about 66% of all state and guaranteed debt.
The largest creditor of Ukraine remains the European Union, which accounts for UAH 3.61 trillion of debt obligations, or almost 39% of the country's total debt.
Also, a significant share is made up of government securities placed on the domestic market, foreign bonds and loans from commercial banks.
The largest part of the debt is denominated in euros
The currency structure of the state debt is dominated by the euro, which accounts for 44.6% of all liabilities.
The share of debt in US dollars is 22.7%, in hryvnia - 20.5%, and in special drawing rights (SDR) - 9%. The rest is made up of liabilities in British pounds, Canadian dollars and Japanese yen.
The cost of servicing the debt is gradually decreasing
The weighted average rate of the national debt at the end of May decreased to 4.43%. For comparison, it was 4.51% in January, and 4.6% a year ago.
The average term until repayment of the state debt is currently 13.13 years, which indicates the preservation of the long-term structure of loans and relatively stable terms of their maintenance.
