The State Financial Monitoring Service identified attempts to launder 53.1 billion UAH since the beginning of the year

1,302,053 reports on financial transactions subject to monitoring were received by the State Financial Monitoring Service this year, marking a 27% increase compared to the previous year.

Of these, 80% (1.05 million) relate to threshold financial transactions—those exceeding the legally established amounts (over 400,000 UAH per month). The remaining 20% (254,500) concern suspicious transactions potentially linked to money laundering, corruption, or terrorism financing, among other issues.

Banks submitted 99% of all reports, while non-bank institutions (such as credit unions, insurance companies, and pawnshops) accounted for only 12,850 reports (about 1%).
