In January–August 2026, Ukraine imported 1.12 million metric tons of automotive gasoline, which is 16% more than during the same period in 2025, according to the A-95 Consulting Group, based on the results of a special market study.
However, gasoline imports in August alone totaled 152,000 metric tons, which is 7% less than in August of last year.
Lithuania and Poland remain the main suppliers of gasoline to Ukraine. In August, 51,800 metric tons of fuel were imported from Lithuania, accounting for 34% of total imports, and 40,100 metric tons from Poland, accounting for 26%.
Thus, the combined share of the two countries reached 60%, compared to 55% a year earlier.
The ORLEN Group, which owns oil refineries in Lithuania and Poland, remains the largest source of imported gasoline. In August, the group’s enterprises shipped 78.8 thousand metric tons of gasoline to Ukraine, accounting for 52% of all imports for the month.
Imports from Germany fell by 13% in August, to 18,200 metric tons. Of this volume, 11,200 metric tons, or 61.5%, came from the UPG network.
A-95 notes that the decline in August shipments is linked, in particular, to high carryover fuel stocks accumulated earlier.
After losing a significant portion of its domestic refining capacity as a result of the full-scale war, the Ukrainian petroleum products market remains heavily dependent on imports from EU countries. The bulk of gasoline and diesel fuel arrives via western and southern routes.
