Fuel Prices in Ukraine as of May 21, 2026

According to Главком: As of May 21, 2026, fuel prices in Ukraine have been refreshed. The average cost of A-95 gasoline is 77.27 UAH per liter, while diesel fuel stands at 87.78 UAH per liter. The most expensive fuel retail chains are Okko, WOG, and Socar, whereas the cheapest fuel prices can be found at Ukrnafta and BRSM-Nafta stations.

Over recent months, diesel prices have surged significantly, rising by 33.9%. The Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) has found no evidence of monopolistic practices in the market. No diesel shortage is expected in Ukraine. Oleksiy Sobolev, head of the Ministry of Economy, has emphasized the importance of the oil products market situation.

'National Cashback' Program

Since the launch of the 'National Cashback' program on March 20, 2026, which runs until May 31, 2026, Ukrainians can receive 15% cashback on diesel, 10% on gasoline, and 5% on autogas. The maximum monthly compensation per user is 500 UAH. According to AMCU data, diesel prices based on Platts have increased by 86%, import prices by 58%, while prices at gas stations have risen by 39%.

Fuel prices across different chains are as follows:

• Okko: A-95 - 79.90, Diesel - 89.90
• WOG: A-95 - 79.90, Diesel - 89.90
• Socar: A-95 - 79.90, Diesel - 89.90
• KLO: A-95 - 78.40, Diesel - 87.40
• UPG: A-95 - 77.40, Diesel - 86.49
• Ukrnafta: A-95 - 73.40, Diesel - 86.90
• BRSM-Nafta: A-95 - 71.99, Diesel - 83.99

The main objective factor behind the price increase is Ukraine's reliance on imported oil products, which exceeds 85%. Rising demand, shrinking supply and reserves, as well as higher logistics costs, are also contributing to the upward trend in fuel prices.

Pavlo Kyrylenko, Head of AMCU

With higher fuel prices, Ukrainians face new challenges related to transportation costs. The 'National Cashback' program may partially offset these expenses, but the stability of the oil products market remains a pressing concern. Dependence on imports and shifts in the global economy could influence future developments, making market monitoring critical for both consumers and the state.
