Latest Fuel Price Update in Ukraine
As of April 6, 2026, fuel station networks have updated their prices. The average cost of A-95 gasoline is now 73.22 UAH per liter, while diesel fuel has reached 89.13 UAH per liter. Prices have risen at UPG, Okko, and WOG stations, with the most expensive diesel being offered by Okko, WOG, and Socar networks. The cheapest fuel is available from Ukrnafta and BRSM-Nafta.
'National Cashback' Program Launched
A 'National Cashback' program is now in effect, running from March 20, 2026, until May 1. This initiative provides the following rebates:
- 15% on diesel
- 10% on gasoline
- 5% on autogas
The maximum cashback amount is capped at 1,000 UAH per person per month.
Reports indicate that diesel prices in Ukraine have surged by 33.9%. Despite this, the volume of diesel supplied in March remained at 2025 levels. Over 85% of Ukraine's light petroleum products now depend on imports. Pavlo Kyrylenko, Head of Ukraine's Antimonopoly Committee, commented that the primary factor driving the price increase is the shutdown of the country's largest oil refinery, which has forced a reliance on imported fuel. This situation is a direct consequence of the ongoing war's impact on critical infrastructure.
Serhiy Kuyun noted that 'there is no diesel fuel shortage, nor is one anticipated.'
Other factors contributing to the fuel price hike include rising demand, a reduction in supply and reserves, and increased costs for logistics services. Analysts also point to the impossibility of comparing current fuel storage conditions and volumes within Ukraine to pre-war standards.
The spike in Ukrainian fuel prices stems from several interconnected issues, chiefly reduced domestic production and import dependency. While the 'National Cashback' program may offer some financial relief to consumers, the overall market situation remains challenging. Ensuring a stable fuel supply is a critical concern for both experts and the public, especially given the halted operations at a major refinery.
