Fuel Price Update in Ukraine
As of June 8, 2026, fuel prices in Ukraine have been updated. The average cost of A-95 gasoline is 75.91 hryvnias per liter, while diesel fuel stands at 85.20 hryvnias per liter. The most expensive gas station chains are Oko, WOG, and Socar, whereas the cheapest are Ukrnafta and BRSM-Nafta.
Diesel prices in Ukraine have risen by 33.9%. It is important to note that from February 26 to March 31, diesel prices (Platts) increased by 86%, import prices by 58%, and gas station prices by 39%. Average gas station prices reflect a 16% increase for gasoline and a 39% increase for diesel. The key objective factor driving price increases is that, since last year, after the shutdown of the largest and essentially only oil refinery in Ukraine, nearly all light petroleum products are over 85% dependent on imports.
This was stated by the head of the Antimonopoly Committee, Pavlo Kyrylenko.
Fuel Cashback Program
The fuel cashback program ran from March 20 to May 31, 2026. This program was used by 2.3 million Ukrainians, who received:
- 15% on diesel,
- 10% on gasoline,
- 5% on autogas.
These measures were aimed at supporting consumers amid rising prices. Meanwhile, according to Pavlo Kyrylenko, average prices at gas stations in Ukraine rose more slowly than import prices: gasoline by 16%, diesel by 39%.
Additional factors influencing fuel price increases include rising demand, declining supply and inventories, and higher actual costs of purchasing petroleum products. Also to be considered are increased logistics costs and the inability to compare storage conditions and volumes of fuel within Ukraine.
The Antimonopoly Committee found no monopolistic actions in the fuel market. Serhiy Kuyun, director of the consulting group A-95; Volodymyr Omelchenko, director of energy programs at the Razumkov Center; and Andriy Myzovets, president of the Gas Traders of Ukraine association, also commented on the market situation.
Thus, Ukrainians continue to face changes in the fuel market driven by a range of economic factors that require proper attention from state authorities and market participants.
The rise in fuel prices in Ukraine is a consequence of a complex economic situation linked to import dependence and reduced domestic production. The shutdown of the oil refinery has significantly impacted the market, which in turn necessitates effective measures to stabilize prices and support consumers. The implementation of the fuel cashback program is an attempt to mitigate negative effects on the population, but further steps by the state remain critically important to address this issue.
