Cashback on fuel
The program ran from 20 March to 31 May 2026 as a temporary anti-crisis mechanism to support citizens amid a substantial 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 threatened by a diesel shortage?
Ukraine has entered the top ten countries worldwide 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 figure remains lower than in some Asian states.
At the same time, the director of consulting group A-95, Serhii Kuyun, emphasized that there is no diesel shortage on the market and none is expected in the near future. According to him, in March supply volumes remained at last year’s level.
Why prices change at filling stations
The head of the Antimonopoly Committee, Pavlo Kyrylenko, explained that the rise 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 affected the increase in prices is that after the shutdown of the largest and virtually the only oil refining enterprise in Ukraine, over 85% of light petroleum products depend on imports,” Kyrylenko said.
The director of energy programs at the Razumkov Center, Volodymyr Omelchenko, told «Glavcom» that the situation in the fuel market remains difficult not only because of world oil prices but also because of domestic regulatory decisions that gradually push out small market participants. In his view, Ukrainian filling station networks operate with higher margins than European traders, yet regulatory bodies are reluctant to intervene.
For his part, the president of the Association “Gas Traders of Ukraine,” Andrii Myzovets, believes that the rise in oil product prices triggered a chain effect in the natural gas market. According to him, speculative fluctuations in the oil market have already caused a significant increase in gas prices at European hubs, complicating preparations for the heating season and storage filling.
In a comment to «Glavcom» the expert also said that the current situation in the fuel and energy market is to a large extent driven by psychological moods and speculative factors, not by a real resource shortage. In his view, the government should abandon populist measures like “fuel cashback” and focus on the tax component of fuel prices, which falls directly within the state’s competence.
Also, international energy and security relations expert Mykhailo Honchar explained to «Glavcom» that the rise in fuel prices in Ukraine is primarily linked to rising prices on the European petroleum products market, from where the country imports most gasoline and diesel. Additionally, Russian attacks on port infrastructure, which complicate logistics, affect the cost.
Other factors driving fuel price increases:
increased demand volumes and reduced supply and stocks;
an increase in the actual cost of purchasing petroleum products and forecasts of further increases in production costs for petroleum products;
rising logistics service costs;
the impossibility of comparing conditions and storage volumes of fuel 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.
According to Kyrylenko, the Antimonopoly Committee collected and analyzed a large array of data to form an “objective picture of the situation” and record the main market trends. This made it possible to track the sharp rise in import fuel prices after the escalation 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 AMCU, 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.
