Ukraine has entered the top ten countries worldwide with the highest rates of diesel price increases, with diesel prices surging by 33.9%. According to reports, in March, diesel supply volumes remained at 2025 levels, but after the shutdown of Ukraine's largest oil refinery, over 85% of light petroleum products now depend on imports. Between February 26 and March 31, diesel prices (Platts) rose by 86%, import prices increased by 58%, and prices at gas stations climbed by 39%. Average prices at Ukrainian gas stations show growth: gasoline rose by 16%, and diesel by 39%.
The main objective factor influencing the price increase is that, starting last year—specifically after the shutdown of the largest and essentially only oil refinery in Ukraine—nearly all light petroleum products, in percentage terms over 85%, depend on the import of petroleum products.

Thus, the situation on Ukraine's fuel market remains tense, with continued price increases and heavy reliance on imports. This fuel price surge could negatively impact the country's economic stability, as higher fuel costs may drive up prices for other goods and services. Given the high dependence on imported petroleum products, Ukraine needs to explore ways to diversify supplies and invest in developing its own refining capacity to reduce price volatility in the fuel market.
