A cashback program for fuel purchases ran from March 20 to May 31, 2026, benefiting 2.3 million Ukrainians. The compensation covered 15% of diesel costs, 10% for gasoline, and 5% for autogas.

Data shows that Ukraine ranked among the world's top ten countries for diesel price hikes, with a 33.9% increase. A key driver behind these rising costs is that after the country's largest-and effectively only-oil refinery halted operations, over 85% of light petroleum products now depend on imports.

“Ukraine’s Antimonopoly Committee has found no evidence of monopolistic practices in the fuel market.”

Between February 26 and March 31, Platts data recorded an 86% surge in diesel prices, while import costs climbed 58% over the same period. In contrast, gas station prices rose only 39% for diesel and 16% for gasoline, indicating a slower pass-through to consumers.

Major factors fueling the price increases include rising demand, shrinking supply and reserves, and higher logistics expenses. Additionally, the market lacks transparency in comparing fuel storage conditions and volumes across Ukraine.

The fuel market in Ukraine remains strained due to heavy reliance on imports, which increases vulnerability to global price swings. While the earlier cashback program demonstrated strong public interest in reducing fuel costs, without addressing supply chain issues and stabilizing retail prices, the situation may stay tense. Although the Antimonopoly Committee has not identified any monopolistic behavior, continued market oversight is essential to prevent potential abuses.
