What the latest open-data release includes
Since the start of 2026, Ukraine's open data portal has published close to 2,000 new datasets. They can be used for verifying businesses, building navigation tools, planning routes, and carrying out journalistic investigations.
- the Unified State Register
- automated speed-camera records
- Kyiv's bicycle network
- criminal statistics
- microdata on accessibility
- road repair information
The Unified State Register (USR) provides information about legal entities, private entrepreneurs, founders, and beneficiaries. The National Police has also opened a database of speed-enforcement cameras that shows their location, type, and direction. In addition, the capital's cycling network data has been published, which could support the growth of environmentally friendly transport in Kyiv.
Why these datasets matter
An interactive map based on road-maintenance data has been launched on the Kyiv Data Portal, and a related service in the Kyiv Digital app has been updated. These tools make it easier for residents to stay informed and strengthen government transparency. The Prosecutor General's Office has released the Unified Report on Criminal Offenses, offering detailed statistics on crime categories and counts as well as investigation outcomes. The accessibility microdata are also significant: they assess how accessible public spaces are for veterans, people with disabilities, internally displaced persons, and parents with children. Road repair and closure data for Kyiv cover timelines, deadlines, and the scope of planned works.
Publishing these datasets is an important step toward transparency and public access to information. Entrepreneurs, journalists, activists, and other users can now obtain the data they need more easily, while interactive maps and digital services make the information more convenient and help residents track key aspects of city life. Open data ecosystems typically drive accountability and enable third-party innovation, so these additions are likely to support both civic oversight and practical applications.
As Ukraine continues to enhance its digital infrastructure, the recent release of datasets is complemented by ongoing efforts in accessibility. The audit of state websites and applications aims to ensure that all citizens, including those with disabilities, can effectively access essential online services. This initiative aligns with the broader goals of transparency and inclusivity in public information access.
