Fuel Price Overview in Ukraine as of May 4, 2026
As of May 4, 2026, gas station networks across Ukraine have updated their fuel prices. The average cost of A-95 gasoline stands at 73 UAH per liter, while diesel fuel is priced at 88 UAH per liter. Since March 20, 2026, a program called 'National Cashback' has been in effect, offering discounts of:
- 15% on diesel
- 10% on gasoline
- 5% on LPG
This initiative has been extended through May 31, 2026. For context, these price levels reflect ongoing economic pressures in the country, including high import dependency.
Price Drops at Select Gas Station Chains
Today, price reductions have been recorded at two chains: LPG dropped by 1 UAH, A-92 fell by 1.10 UAH, A-95 decreased by 90 kopecks, and A-95+ declined by 20 kopecks. The most expensive networks remain Okko, WOG, and Socar, while the cheapest prices are offered by Ukrnafta and BRSM-Nafta. For instance, at the UPG chain, A-95 costs 72.90 UAH per liter, and diesel at the same chain is 86.90 UAH per liter. At the OKKO network, A-95 reaches 76.90 UAH, while at WOG, it is 75.90 UAH.
Regarding cashback, maximum savings on diesel can reach 11 UAH per liter, on gasoline up to 7 UAH, and on autogas up to 2 UAH. Since May 1, a maximum monthly compensation limit of 500 UAH per user has also been established.
Meanwhile, the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine has not identified monopolistic practices in the fuel market.
'The Antimonopoly Committee currently does not see monopolistic actions in the fuel market in Ukraine,' stated Pavlo Kyrylenko.He also emphasized that the primary objective factor driving price increases is dependence on petroleum product imports, noting that 'almost all light petroleum products, in percentage terms, are 85%+ dependent on imports.'
Diesel prices in Ukraine have risen by 33.9%, and gas station prices have increased by 39%. In contrast, gasoline price growth at gas stations has been recorded at 16%. Key factors influencing price changes include:
- Increased demand volumes
- Reduced supply volumes
- Rising logistics costs
- Inability to compare conditions and storage volumes of fuel within Ukraine
The situation in Ukraine's fuel market reflects challenging economic conditions that continue to impact prices. The introduction of the 'National Cashback' program aims to support consumers during this difficult period, particularly by alleviating the financial burden from rising prices. However, reliance on imported petroleum products remains a critical factor complicating price stability in the market.
