Naftogaz Ukrainy plans to import 15,600 tonnes of petrol and diesel fuel into the country in July, head of the company Yuriy Vitrenko said.
“Naftogaz joined the task of eliminating the shortage that arose in the oil products market at the end of April. For the third month already, we have been increasing the volume of deliveries, on average 2.5 times monthly. In July, we plan to deliver 15,600 tonnes of gasoline and diesel,” he said on Facebook.
According to him, the company is ready to contract dozens of times more, but logistical restrictions prevent the delivery of oil products to the border of Ukraine from major ports in Europe, where there is the resource.
“Despite this, we have a positive trend. And if such rates of increasing imports of fuel continue, then in a few months Naftogaz may become the market leader,” Vitrenko said.
As reported, Ukraine in June 2022 will increase fuel imports by 1.6 times compared to May – up to 600,000 tonnes. In particular, 2/3 of them will be diesel fuel, 1/3 – gasoline and liquefied gas.
