Ukraine's Fuel Price Update as of April 7, 2026
Fuel prices in Ukraine were updated on April 7, 2026. The average cost of A-95 gasoline is now 73.98 UAH per liter, while the average price for diesel fuel has reached 90.51 UAH per liter. These price increases have been implemented at filling stations of networks including UPG, Socar, Ukrnafta, and KLO. The most expensive fuel is offered by the Okko, WOG, and Socar networks, whereas the cheapest fuel can be found at Ukrnafta and BRSM-Nafta stations. These record prices are impacting both consumers and the broader economy.
It is worth noting that a National Fuel Cashback program is in effect from March 20 until May 1, 2026. The program offers:
- 15% cashback on diesel;
- 10% on gasoline;
- 5% on autogas.
The maximum cashback amount is up to 1,000 UAH per person per month.
Factors Behind the Fuel Price Surge
The price of diesel in Ukraine has surged by 33.9%. As noted by expert Pavlo Kyrylenko, the primary objective factor driving the price increase is that since last year, following the shutdown of the country's largest oil refinery, over 85% of light petroleum products now depend on imports. This has made the market highly sensitive to global price fluctuations and logistics costs.

Government representative Serhiy Kuyun also noted that in March, the supply volumes of diesel fuel remained at 2025 levels.
Other factors contributing to the rise in fuel prices include:
- an increase in demand volumes;
- a reduction in supply volumes and reserves;
- rising costs for logistics services.
This, in turn, complicates the comparison of fuel storage conditions and volumes within Ukraine.
The rise in fuel prices in Ukraine results from a combination of factors, including import dependency following the halt of domestic oil refining. The cashback program aims to support consumers amid rising prices; however, the overall market situation indicates a need to strengthen domestic production and optimize logistics. This could be a crucial step toward reducing import reliance and stabilizing prices in the future.
