Over 3,100 mobile phones were stolen or lost in Ukraine in the first three months of 2025. This is according to data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was analyzed by the Opendatabot service.
The total number of such incidents is 3,191 cases, which is almost 34% less than in the same period in 2024. For comparison, throughout last year, Ukrainians lost or reported 19,463 smartphones stolen, which is 33% less than in 2023.
The largest number of thefts and losses was recorded in the capital — 352 cases, or 11% of the total. Next in the anti-rating are Zaporizhzhia (331 cases) and Kyiv regions (330 cases). The calmest situation is in Kherson region, where only 4 such cases were registered.
Traditionally, smartphones from three brands are most often stolen or lost — Xiaomi, Samsung, and iPhone. They account for almost 70% of all registered cases in 2025. In particular:
-
Xiaomi — 997 cases;
-
Samsung — 638;
-
iPhones — 573.
According to the dynamics of recent years, the total number of thefts and losses of phones has been gradually decreasing. The reasons for this trend may be both a decrease in the mobility of the population during war conditions and improved technical means of protecting devices.
