Prime Minister Meets with Naftogaz Leadership
Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko held a meeting with the Chairman of the Board of Naftogaz, Serhiy Korytskyi, to discuss the situation on oil markets. During the meeting, they noted a decline in quotations on major exchanges, which Svyrydenko stated directly influences fuel prices within Ukraine. In response, the state-owned Ukrnafta filling station network has already begun to lower its fuel prices.
"We are seeing a drop in quotations on major exchanges, which should directly affect fuel prices in Ukraine. The state-owned Ukrnafta filling station network has already reacted and started lowering prices," said Yulia Svyridenko.
As of April 8, 2026, the average price for A-95 gasoline at major filling stations was approximately 74.26 UAH per liter, while the average price for diesel fuel was 91.53 UAH per liter.
National Fuel Rebate Program
A National Fuel Rebate program, which launched on March 20, 2026, will continue until May 1. Under this initiative, Ukrainians can receive a partial compensation for their fuel expenses:
- 15% for diesel fuel,
- 10% for gasoline,
- 5% for autogas.
The maximum rebate amount is up to 1,000 UAH per person per month. Filling station networks participating in the National Rebate program are registered with the National Rebate system. This program provides direct financial relief to citizens amid broader economic adjustments.
In March 2026, fuel supply volumes reached their highest level in the last five years. Serhiy Kuyun, Director of the A-95 Consulting Group, stated there is no current or anticipated shortage of diesel fuel, with March supply volumes matching those of 2025. However, diesel prices in Ukraine have risen by 33.9%. Prime Minister Svyrydenko expressed her expectation for other market participants to follow suit in adjusting prices, remarking, "The market should respond fairly to changes in the price environment. The fuel supply situation is stable. March saw record supply volumes for the last five years, and a similar trend will continue in April."
As of April 8, 2026, filling station networks that have updated their fuel prices include UPG, Okko, WOG, and KLO. The most expensive gasoline and diesel are offered by Okko, WOG, and Socar networks, while the lowest fuel prices are offered by Ukrnafta and BRSM-Nafta.
The decline in international oil market quotations could significantly impact Ukraine's economic situation by improving fuel affordability for both the public and businesses. The fuel rebate program will further support consumers during this period, helping to reduce the financial burden on households. This combined approach represents a key step toward price stabilization and improved conditions for consumers and enterprises in Ukraine.
