The fuel market in Ukraine is functioning stably and is fully supplied with the necessary resources, according to the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, citing Deputy Minister Mykola Kolisnyk.
“January is traditionally a period of low seasonal consumption. However, current realities, in particular the active operation of generators, are supporting demand for fuel. Despite this, thanks to the coordinated actions of the government and market operators, this demand is being steadily met,” he said.
According to Kolisnyk, the diversification of supply routes has ensured stable and regular logistics of light petroleum products for the continuous supply of consumer needs. Currently, fuel is delivered to Ukraine by road, rail, and sea transport.
“No single infrastructure facility is critical, and in the event of local restrictions, the market automatically switches to alternative routes,” he explained.
The deputy minister also noted that the current logistics situation does not create grounds for price fluctuations, shortages, or market destabilization.
“Pricing in the fuel market is determined by a complex of factors, including world prices and tax policy. Logistics does not create grounds for price fluctuations or shortages,” he stressed.
According to the Ministry of Energy, more than 344,000 tons of fuel have been imported into Ukraine since the beginning of 2026, with domestic producers continuing to play an important role.
Currently, Ukraine has a state system for monitoring fuel volumes and quality, as well as a system of minimum reserves of oil and petroleum products.
“The administrator of the electronic reporting system is JSC Market Operator. This allows the state to see the market balance in real time, control the quality of fuel, and respond quickly to any signs of crisis,” Kolisnyk emphasized.
