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 Sviridenko, 2,3 million Ukrainians used it. Program participants received compensation equal to 15% of the cost of diesel fuel, 10% for gasoline and 5% for auto gas.
Is Ukraine threatened with 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 figure remains lower than in a number of Asian countries.
At the same time, the director of consulting group A-95, Serhii Kuyun, emphasized that there is no diesel fuel 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 at filling stations change
The head of the Antimonopoly Committee, Pavlo Kyrylenko, explained that the increase in gasoline and diesel prices in Ukraine is linked not only to the war in the Middle East but mainly 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 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.
The director of energy programs at the Razumkov Center, Volodymyr Omelchenko, told "Glavkom" that the situation on the fuel market remains difficult not only because of global oil prices but also because of domestic regulatory decisions that are gradually squeezing out small market participants. In his view, Ukrainian filling station networks operate with a higher margin than European traders, yet regulatory authorities are not rushing to intervene.
Meanwhile, the president of the association "Gas Traders of Ukraine," Andrii Myzovets, believes that the rise in oil product prices has triggered a chain effect on 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 the filling of storage facilities.
In a comment to "Glavkom," the expert also noted that the current situation in the fuel and energy market is largely driven by psychological moods and speculative factors rather than a real shortage of resources. He believes the government should abandon populist measures like the “fuel cashback” and focus on the tax component of fuel prices, which falls directly under the state’s competence.
Also, international energy and security relations expert Mykhailo Honchar explained to "Glavkom" that the rise in fuel prices in Ukraine is primarily linked to rising prices on the European oil products market, from where the country imports most of its gasoline and diesel. Russian attacks on port infrastructure, which complicate logistics, also additionally affect the cost.
Other factors driving fuel price increases:
an increase in demand volumes and a reduction in supply volumes and stocks;
an increase in the actual cost of purchasing oil products and forecasts of further increases in oil product production costs;
an increase in the cost of logistics services;
the inability to compare storage conditions and volumes for fuel on Ukrainian territory.
The Antimonopoly Committee reported on 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 amount 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 imported 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 increased by 58%, while filling station prices, according to the head of the Antimonopoly Committee, 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.
