Fuel Prices in Ukraine Updated: A-95 Hits 76 UAH, Diesel Reaches 82 UAH

Ukraine’s Latest Fuel Price Update

According to Главком: As of June 19, 2026, Ukraine has revised its fuel prices. The average cost of A-95 gasoline now stands at 76.07 UAH per liter, while diesel fuel is priced at 82.33 UAH per liter. This price surge is driven by the shutdown of oil refineries and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Despite these increases, there is no diesel shortage in the country.

Retail chains Socar, UPG, and Oko have reduced prices for diesel and gas by 1–2 UAH. The most expensive gasoline and diesel remain available at Oko, WOG, and Socar stations, while the cheapest options are offered by Ukrnafta and BRSM-Nafta. Diesel prices in Ukraine have climbed by 33.9%. March diesel supply volumes matched last year’s levels, but with the country’s largest refinery now idle, over 85% of light petroleum products depend on imports.

Price Trends and a Cashback Initiative

Between February 26 and March 31, diesel prices (based on Platts benchmarks) surged by 86%, import costs rose by 58%, and retail station prices increased by 39%. Average pump prices reflected a 16% rise for gasoline and a 39% jump for diesel. The Antimonopoly Committee has found no evidence of monopolistic practices in the fuel market.

A cashback program running from March 20 to May 31, 2026, proved popular among Ukrainians, with 2.3 million people participating. It offered compensation of 15% on diesel, 10% on gasoline, and 5% on autogas purchases.

'The main objective factor behind the price increase is that after the shutdown of the largest and virtually only oil refinery in Ukraine, over 85% of light petroleum products now rely on imports,' stated Pavlo Kyrylenko.

Key drivers of rising fuel prices include:

• growing demand;
• reduced supply and inventories;
• higher logistics costs;
• difficulty comparing storage conditions and capacities within Ukraine.

The increase in Ukrainian fuel prices stems from a mix of complex external and domestic pressures on the market. With the nation heavily dependent on imports and domestic refineries offline, consumers face elevated costs-even as diesel supply remains adequate. The earlier cashback program aimed to ease this burden, but the broader picture highlights serious economic challenges amid global crises.
