Current Fuel Pricing Landscape in Ukraine
As of June 30, 2026, Ukraine's gas station networks have rolled out revised fuel prices. The average cost for A-95 petrol now stands at 75.20 UAH per liter, while diesel fuel is priced at 76.96 UAH per liter. This price hike is driven by global market trends and the shutdown of a domestic oil refinery. A cashback program running from March 20 to May 31, 2026, had previously enabled 2.3 million Ukrainians to receive compensation on fuel purchases.
Fuel Costs Across Different Station Chains
Prices for petrol and diesel vary significantly depending on the retailer. For instance, at the UPG chain, the average price for A95 is 73.90 UAH per liter, with diesel at 74.90 UAH per liter. At OKKO and WOG stations, A95 reaches 78.90 UAH per liter, whereas at KLO, the same fuel costs 70.90 UAH per liter. SOCAR lists A95 at 78.90 UAH per liter, and Ukrnafta offers it for 73.90 UAH per liter. The BRSM-Nafta network sells A95 for 70.99 UAH per liter and diesel for 73.99 UAH per liter.
According to available data, one chain raised diesel prices by 1.5 UAH per liter and premium A95+ petrol by 3 UAH per liter. The cashback program provided compensation at the following rates:
- 15% of diesel fuel costs
- 10% of petrol costs
- 5% of autogas costs
Diesel prices in Ukraine have surged by 33.9%, and between February 26 and March 31, Platts statistics show a dramatic 86% increase in diesel costs. Additionally, import prices over the same period rose by 58%.
Over 85% of Ukraine's light petroleum products rely on imports, which Pavlo Kyrylenko cites as the primary objective factor behind the price increases. He further noted that average prices at Ukrainian gas stations rose more modestly: petrol by 16% and diesel by 39%.
Other factors influencing fuel price changes include:
- rising demand volumes
- declining supply and inventory levels
- higher logistics service costs
- inability to compare storage conditions and capacities for fuel within Ukraine
Overall, the fuel market in Ukraine remains strained, with price growth triggered by both domestic and external forces. These shifts in gas station pricing policies could ripple through the national economy and shape consumer sentiment.
Ukraine's fuel market reflects a delicate balance between local and global economic factors. The country's heavy reliance on imported petroleum products leaves it vulnerable to international price swings.

This situation could lead to adverse effects for consumers and the broader economy, especially given rising logistics costs and energy demand.
