Enforcement proceedings
An entry in the Unified Register of Debtors. It shows that a claim exists — not how large it is.
The Unified Register of Debtors is kept by the Ministry of Justice. It publishes that enforcement proceedings have been opened against a person, along with the proceeding number, the enforcement body and the category of claim.
What it does not publish is the amount owed. It is not in the dataset at all — not in hryvnia, not as a band. So the only correct phrasing is “registered as a debtor in N proceedings”. “Owes ₴X” cannot be derived from this source.
The count of proceedings misleads too: they are counted per enforcement document. A large enterprise can carry hundreds of proceedings over small claims, while a company with one proceeding may owe tens of millions.
The categories are more informative: recovery in favour of the tax authority reads differently from an administrative fine.
