Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last month complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); Ukraine is measured over the same months. Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in %; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. UAH billion, today's money, last twelve months · Ukrstat retail trade turnover by region (January-to-date figures as single months), deflated by the region's CPI, summed over the trailing twelve months · oblast data · as of Sep 2026.
