A fuel cashback program ran in Ukraine from March 20 to May 31, 2026, benefiting 2.3 million Ukrainians. Under its terms, compensation covered 15% of diesel costs, 10% of gasoline, and 5% of autogas.

Meanwhile, Ukraine ranked among the world's top ten countries for diesel price hikes, with a 33.9% increase. A key driver was the shutdown of the nation's largest oil refinery, leaving over 85% of light petroleum products dependent on imports. Pavlo Kyrylenko noted that

“the main objective factor behind the price rise is that after the halt of Ukraine's largest and virtually only oil refinery, over 85% of light petroleum products rely on imports.”

Data shows that from February 26 to March 31, 2026, diesel prices surged by 86%, while import prices rose 58%. Average gasoline prices at Ukrainian stations increased by 16%, and diesel by 39%. March diesel supply volumes remained on par with the previous year.

Ukraine's Antimonopoly Committee found no evidence of monopolistic practices in the fuel market following an investigation led by Pavlo Kyrylenko. The probe concluded that price increases stemmed not only from market concentration but also from rising demand and shrinking supply.

As of July 1, 2026, despite fluctuations in petroleum product costs, no major price shifts have occurred for fuel in Ukraine. The market remains under control, though challenges tied to imports and supply continue to shape pricing policies.

Currently, Ukraine's fuel market shows price stability amid global upward trends. The refinery shutdown and heavy reliance on imports remain critical factors influencing domestic pricing. The earlier fuel cashback program reflects government efforts to support consumers under tough conditions, but future developments hinge on stabilizing supply chains and reviving the refining sector.
