What is being offered to investors
A new war bond called “Feodosiya” has appeared in the Diia app. Its rate is 15.5% per annum, maturity date — 24 March 2027. From Diia’s press service example: “10 bonds – 10,756 UAH at 15.5% per annum; in a year you receive 12,352 UAH to your Diia.Card”.
Why this matters
This combines two effects: practical support for the Defense Forces and the opportunity to obtain a relatively high yield in the national currency. For citizens, it is an instrument that allows channeling savings not only into the economic sphere but directly to support the army — with clear terms for the return of principal and interest.
Figures and social proof
According to Diia’s press service, more than 22 million bonds have already been purchased through the service for a total of around 22.9 billion UAH. Such volumes indicate significant demand and trust from part of the population in this channel of financing defense needs.
"Each bond is fuel, drones and equipment for our defenders, as well as stability for the economy. Your money works for defense, and then returns with interest."

Context
This is not an isolated step: in May 2025 Diia introduced five war bonds — "Tokmak", "Soledar", "Foros", "Novyi Svit" and "Livadia". In October the "Lysychansk" bond was registered, and in November "Alchevsk" became available with a yield from 18.1% per annum. The system operates on a standard basis: the government raises resources for current defense needs, citizens receive a fixed income and a guarantee of return of principal at maturity.
Who should pay attention
This instrument suits those who want to combine a civic stance with the desire to earn in hryvnias. At the same time, it is important to assess portfolio diversification, inflation risks and the timing needs of one’s own savings.

Conclusion
The new “Feodosiya” bond is another instrument for the state to mobilize resources in support of defense, confirming the element of mass citizen participation in financing the army’s needs. Going forward, it will be important to monitor the pace of placements, servicing terms and how these funds are used in practice — this will determine trust and the effectiveness of the instrument in the long term.
