Ukrainians were told about the prices for mobile communications and utilities: how key services will become more expensive in 2025.

At the beginning of 2025, Ukrainians faced changes in service tariffs. According to the Inflation Report of the National Bank of Ukraine, tariffs for gas, heating, and hot water remain unchanged, but other services will rise. Significant changes have particularly occurred in the field of communications. The three leading mobile operators in the country announced tariff increases.

'Kyivstar' has already increased the cost of popular tariff plans since January 15. 'Vodafone' raised prices from January 30, while 'lifecell' announced tariff increases in February. 'Ukrtelecom' also revised prices for fixed-line communications and radio since January 1, 2025.

The situation with utility services is stable. For many households served by 'Naftogaz of Ukraine', gas prices remain unchanged until the end of April 2025. There are nine suppliers in the market with tariffs ranging from 7.79 to 21.5 hryvnias per cubic meter.

Regarding electricity, experts have varying forecasts. The head of the Utility Consumers Association predicts a tariff increase from June 1. However, the Director of Energy Programs at the Razumkov Center considers such a scenario unlikely.

Water supply tariffs in large cities remain at 2021 levels, but some smaller settlements have seen changes. The NBU warns about potential consequences of tariff policies. At the same Time, experts point to the political aspect of tariff policies and predict that increases during the election cycle will be minimal.
