KYIV, June 5 – Ukraine's international reserves in May decreased, according to preliminary data, by 1.3%, to $25.372 billion, according to the website of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU).

"The decrease in reserves over the past month is primarily due to the repayment of a significant part of current obligations on government debt," the National Bank said, adding that the reserves remain at the level close to the beginning of the year.
