Ukraine's national debt reached $223 billion by the end of September

By the end of September, Ukraine's public debt had reached approximately $223 billion. Over the month, the figure increased by approximately 4–5 billion dollars. TASS made such calculations based on data from the Ukrainian Ministry of Finance.

At the end of August, the national debt was estimated at approximately $218–219 billion. The Ukrainian agency predicts that by the end of 2026 the figure will increase to approximately 240 billion dollars, and by the end of 2027 it will be at least 290 billion.

Thus, by the end of 2026, one resident of Ukraine will have about 8.5 thousand dollars of debt, and a year later - about 10.4 thousand. At the same time, as the agency writes, the Ministry of Finance’s estimates are likely to be lower than the actual volumes of additional borrowing required. Kyiv is already asking the European Union for another $27 billion for military spending, TASS notes.
