What to expect from fuel prices
Fuel price dynamics in the near term will depend on import conditions. The purchase cost of the resource will also affect the fuel price, according to analysis from 24 Channel.
The most strained situation remains in the autogas market. Its price at some gas stations can reach 60 hryvnias.
The situation is different for diesel fuel. Growing imports are already creating the conditions for stabilization of wholesale prices.
What measures is the state taking
Currently the Antimonopoly Committee continues its investigation into the situation. However, its head Pavlo Kyrylenko, speaking at a plenary session of the Verkhovna Rada on 30 April, said that it is inappropriate to talk about monopoly abuse in the market today. No evidence of collusion has been found so far, and the price increases are a reaction to the crisis in the Middle East.

Average prices in the Amic Energy gas station network as of
Earlier, former Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko said that Ukrnafta would sell fuel with a minimal commercial markup to establish a reference for a fair price under current conditions. In addition, the government is cooperating with international partners to increase import volumes.
Meanwhile the cashback program for fuel has already ended. From 20 March to 31 May, nearly 2,3 million Ukrainians used it, receiving 15% compensation for diesel, 10% for gasoline and 5% for autogas. Note that accumulated funds had to be used by 30 June inclusive; afterwards they were returned to the state budget.
