Current Fuel Prices in Ukraine
As of April 8, 2026, fuel prices have been updated at Ukrainian filling station networks. The average cost of A-95 gasoline now stands at 74.26 UAH per liter, while the average price for diesel fuel has reached 91.53 UAH per liter. Price increases have been recorded at UPG, Okko, WOG, and KLO stations, with the most expensive fuel offered by Okko, WOG, and Socar networks. Conversely, the cheapest fuel can be found at Ukrnafta and BRSM-Nafta stations.
'National Cashback' Program
A 'National Cashback' program has been active in Ukraine since March 20, 2026, offering compensation on fuel purchases:
- 15% on diesel
- 10% on gasoline
- 5% on autogas (LPG)
The maximum cashback amount per person is up to 1,000 UAH per month, and the program will run until May 1, 2026. It is also worth noting that diesel prices in Ukraine have risen by 33.9%. Despite the price hikes, government officials assure there is no shortage of diesel fuel.
Experts have commented on the reasons behind the fuel price increases. According to Pavlo Kyrylenko, the primary factor is that since the shutdown of Ukraine's largest oil refinery last year, over 85% of light petroleum products now depend on imports. Serhiy Kuyun noted that diesel supply volumes in March remained at 2025 levels, indicating no current supply deficit.
Among other factors influencing the rise in fuel prices, experts point to:
- Increased demand volumes
- Reduced supply and inventory levels
- Rising actual acquisition costs for petroleum products
- Increased cost of logistics services
All these factors combined create conditions for further price increases in Ukraine's fuel market.
The surge in Ukrainian fuel prices reflects a complex situation in the petroleum products market, driven by both domestic and external factors. This price volatility is a common challenge for nations reliant on fuel imports. Following the halt of the country's largest refinery, a significant portion of petroleum products must now be imported, making the market more vulnerable to global price fluctuations. While the 'National Cashback' program may partially ease the financial burden on consumers, it does not address the core issues related to fuel supply and pricing mechanisms.
