Over the past ten months, the Unified Register of Debtors has recorded more than 2 million fines for traffic violations. At the same time, three quarters of the proceedings (75%) were closed without payment due to the inability to collect the debt.

Since the start of the full-scale war, the number of unpaid fines has increased by 43%, according to Opendatabot.
