The Parallel-branded gas station chain continues to implement modern European fuel quality standards. From now on, the 95 Euro and 95 Perfekt gasoline grades available at all gas stations in the chain comply with the E10 standard and contain up to 10% bioethanol. The new product is imported in finished form from European markets.
The transition to E10 is an important milestone in the development of the Ukrainian fuel market and aligns with European practices of using more environmentally friendly fuels. Thanks to bioethanol, which is produced from renewable plant-based raw materials, the carbon footprint is reduced, and the use of this gasoline helps cut greenhouse gas emissions.
At the same time, the most important thing for Parallel’s customers remains unchanged: high-quality fuel. 95 Euro and 95 Perfekt gasoline ensure stable engine performance and meet current quality requirements.
“We are consistently implementing solutions that meet modern European standards and our customers’ expectations. The transition to E10-standard gasoline is not only about meeting new requirements but also about contributing to a more environmentally friendly future. At the same time, we guarantee the consistently high quality of fuel that our customers receive every day at
Parallel-branded gas stations,” said Alexander Dubinin, owner and CEO of the Parallel gas station network.
Parallel continues to work toward offering drivers fuel that combines high quality with compliance with international standards.
The Parallel gas station chain increased its fuel sales by 1.5 times in the January–March quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, the company told *EnergoReform*.
In addition, Parallel launched its renovated gas stations following modernization.
The company notes that all of this was the main reason for the nearly twofold increase in taxes paid during this period—738 million UAH, which is 1.8 times higher than the corresponding figure from last year.
At the same time, the bulk of tax payments consisted of customs duties.
“The total amount of import VAT, excise tax, and customs duties exceeded 700 million UAH. For the same period in 2025, this figure reached nearly 400 million UAH. The difference is primarily explained by an increase in purchases of imported fuel and new excise tax rates that took effect on January 1, 2026,” Parallel noted.
It is also noted that corporate income tax increased 3.5-fold compared to the first quarter of 2025, but its share in total tax revenue does not exceed 2%. The company explained this by the fact that the main cash flow goes to suppliers, the state, and the company’s employees.
Regarding the latter, the company noted that payments for personal income tax, the unified social contribution, and the military levy have nearly doubled.
“This is due to the company’s policy of raising wages and preserving jobs during a period of instability in the fuel market,” the company added.
As Parallel owner and CEO Alexander Dubinin commented, the first-quarter results demonstrated the chain’s growing popularity among motorists, and the significant improvement in business profitability was achieved thanks to strategic investments made in previous years and measures to enhance management efficiency.
“Behind this non-trivial task lie serious investments and the painstaking work of a team focused on customer needs,” Dubinin emphasized.
As reported, by July 2025, the number of gas stations under the Parallel brand had increased to 76 stations across 8 regions. Currently, 96 gas stations are operating in 17 regions.
Before the war, the Parallel network consisted of 132 gas stations. As a result of the full-scale invasion, Parallel lost or suspended operations at most of its facilities.
In the first half of 2025, it paid over 724 million to budgets at all levels: 414 million UAH in excise tax, 278 million UAH in VAT, 13 million UAH in income tax, and 2.4 million UAH in military tax.
Parallel is a member of the Ukrainian Oil and Gas Association and ranks among the top 10 largest Ukrainian fuel importers.
The Parallel gas station chain (AZK) Parallel reported a net profit of UAH 165,875,000 in 2025, which is 7.14 times higher than the corresponding figure for 2024 (UAH 23,212,000), according to a company statement provided to the Energoreformi online portal by the press service.

According to the company’s data, 454 people were employed in the network in 2025, and 432 in 2024. Revenue per employee amounted to 24.6 million UAH and 20.25 million UAH, respectively.
As reported, the Parallel gas station chain plans to expand its fuel business by 350 gas stations in 2026 and become one of the top five largest retailers of light petroleum products in Ukraine. According to the network’s owner, Oleksandr Dubinin, Parallel plans to invest approximately 2 billion UAH in the network’s development in 2026, time and market conditions permitting. Prior to this, starting in 2022, approximately 350 million UAH was invested in the network’s reconstruction and development.
In an interview with Forbes Ukraine, Dubinin noted that building new stations from scratch during wartime is impossible due to lengthy bureaucratic procedures, obtaining permits, and land allocation, so the company is considering the acquisition of regional networks.
Before the war, the Parallel network comprised 132 gas stations. As a result of the full-scale invasion, Parallel lost or suspended operations at a significant portion of its facilities. As of July 2025, 76 gas stations were reported to be operational across 8 regions.

According to Alexander Dubinin, CEO and owner of Parallel, the company is continuing to implement a comprehensive program to upgrade its gas stations, which includes modernizing facilities, improving service quality, and making things more convenient for customers.

and in early 2025, it resumed its partnership with FC Shakhtar, which lasted from 2008 to 2014, when the network, like the club, was owned by Rinat Akhmetov’s SCM. The partnership is set to last for 2.5 years and includes putting the Parallel logo on the team’s jerseys, advertising during home games, loyalty programs, and social media activity.

Parallel has expanded its network with a new filling station on Obukhivske highway near Kyiv.
“The filling station offers all types of high-quality fuel from European manufacturers that meet the highest quality standards. All modern services are available for the convenience of drivers,” the company said in a press release.
According to the network, despite the challenges posed by the full-scale war, temporary occupation of some territories and infrastructure damage caused by shelling, Parallel continues to rebuild and develop its network as part of the company’s long-term strategy.
In particular, the company plans to expand its network both by opening new filling stations and by increasing the number of partner complexes operating under the Parallel brand.
“Due to the Russian aggression, we lost about 80% of our filling stations, but we are rebuilding and developing the network, because a working business means paid taxes and support for the country’s economy,” said Parallel owner and CEO Alexander Dubinin.Before the war, the Parallel branded network included 132 filling stations. As a result of the full-scale invasion, the company lost or suspended most of its facilities.
Currently, the company operates 32 filling stations in Dnipropetrovs’k, Odesa, Chernihiv, Kyiv and the government-controlled areas of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhya regions.

Parallel has opened its first filling station in Kyiv (Kiltseva Road, 6B), the company’s website reports.
It has five fuel dispensers and offers the necessary modern services. In total, this is the 11th Parallel filling station in the capital region and the 31st in the network.
According to the report, the company plans to further develop the network both by opening new filling stations and expanding the number of partner complexes operating under the Parallel brand.
“The new complex has become a symbol of renewal for us – we have lost about 80% of all filling stations in eastern Ukraine, but this does not stop us. Ukrainians never give up, no matter what difficulties they face,” said Parallel owner and CEO Alexander Dubinin.
As reported earlier, in the fall of 2020, Rinat Akhmetov’s SCM financial and industrial holding sold the Parallel filling station chain to Naftainvest 2020 LLC. At that time, the company sold its fuel at 60 filling stations in Dnipropetrovska and Zaporizka oblasts and the government-controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhanska oblasts.
