Cashback on fuel
The program ran from 20 March to 31 May 2026 as a temporary anti-crisis mechanism to support citizens amid a significant rise in fuel prices. According to Svyrydenko, 2,3 million Ukrainians used it. Program participants received compensation of 15% of the cost of diesel fuel, 10% for gasoline and 5% for autogas.
Is Ukraine facing a diesel fuel shortage?
Ukraine entered the top ten countries in the world with the highest rates of diesel price growth amid the war in the Middle East. Diesel prices in the country increased by 33,9%. Although this matches the global trend, the rate remains lower than in several Asian countries.
At the same time, the director of the A-95 consulting group, Serhii Kuyun, emphasized that there is no diesel fuel shortage on the market and none is expected in the near future. He said that in March supply volumes remained at last year’s level.
Why prices change at filling stations
Pavlo Kyrylenko, head of the Antimonopoly Committee, explained that the increase in gasoline and diesel prices in Ukraine is linked not only to the war in the Middle East but primarily to the long-term consequences of the shutdown of the country’s largest oil refinery. At the same time, he said additional factors also affect the market.
“The main objective factor that influenced the price increase is that after the shutdown of the largest and effectively the only oil refining enterprise in Ukraine, over 85% of light petroleum products depend on imports,” Kyrylenko said.
Volodymyr Omelchenko, director of the energy programs at the Razumkov Center, told «Hlavkom» that the situation in the fuel market remains difficult not only due to global oil prices but also because of domestic regulatory decisions that are gradually pushing out small market players. In his view, Ukrainian filling station networks operate with higher margins than European traders, yet regulatory bodies are not in a hurry to intervene.
For his part, Andrii Myzovets, president of the Gas Traders of Ukraine association, believes that the rise in oil product prices has triggered a chain effect in the natural gas market. He said speculative fluctuations in the oil market have already caused a significant rise in gas prices at European hubs, complicating preparations for the heating season and filling storage facilities.
In a comment to «Hlavkom», the expert also noted that the current situation in the fuel and energy market is largely driven by psychological sentiment and speculative factors rather than a real resource shortage. In his view, the government should abandon populist measures like the “fuel cashback” and focus on the tax component of fuel prices, which is directly within the state’s competence.
Also, international energy and security relations expert Mykhailo Honchar explained to «Hlavkom» that the fuel price increase in Ukraine is primarily related to rising prices on the European oil products market, from which the country imports most gasoline and diesel. Additionally, Russian attacks on port infrastructure, which complicate logistics, affect the price.
Other factors driving fuel price increases:
an increase in demand volumes and a reduction in supply volumes and stocks;
an increase in the actual acquisition cost of oil products and forecasts of further increases in production cost;
an increase in the cost of logistics services;
the impossibility of comparing conditions and volumes of fuel storage within Ukraine.
The Antimonopoly Committee reported the results of its market inspection
The Antimonopoly Committee currently does not see monopolistic actions in Ukraine’s fuel market. Committee head Pavlo Kyrylenko said this during a plenary session of the Verkhovna Rada.
Kyrylenko said the Antimonopoly Committee collected and analyzed a large dataset to form an “objective picture of the situation” and to record the main market trends. This made it possible to track the sharp rise in imported fuel prices after tensions escalated in the Middle East.
From 26 February to 31 March, according to Platts statistics, diesel prices rose by 86%, and import prices by 58%, while filling station prices, according to the head of the AMC, rose by only 39%. “At the same time, average filling station prices in Ukraine rose more slowly: gasoline – by 16%, diesel – by 39%,” he said.
