Fuel prices have risen by 1–3 hryvnias; Ukrnafta has lowered price of premium gasoline

Prices for all types of fuel rose by 1–3 UAH/liter on Friday compared to Thursday; against this backdrop, PJSC “Ukrnafta” lowered the price of A-95+ by 3 UAH/liter, bringing it in line with A-95, according to data monitoring on websites and in network apps conducted by the “Energoreforma” internet portal.

According to the data, three of the surveyed gas station chains raised diesel fuel prices by 3 UAH/liter: Socar, WOG, and UPG, with the first two currently selling diesel at 84.99 UAH/liter and diesel+ at 87.99 UAH/liter. The same price applies at OKKO, which brought its prices in line with this level by raising them by 2 UAH/liter. UPG lists prices of 82.9 UAH/liter and 85.9 UAH/liter, respectively.

State-owned “Ukrnafta,” following a 2 UAH/liter increase in diesel prices, has a diesel price of 77.99 UAH/liter and diesel+ at 81.99 UAH/liter, which is the lowest among the surveyed networks.

The price of gasoline increased by 1 UAH/liter at OKKO, by 2 UAH/liter at WOG, and by 3 UAH/liter at Socar and UPG, but UPG’s price remains the lowest among private chains. Meanwhile, the state-owned “Ukrnafta” left the price of A-95 unchanged and reduced the price of A-95+ by 3 UAH/liter. For both types of fuel, it stands at 68.99 UAH/L.

Fuel prices (averages) as of March 20 compared to March 19 (based on monitoring by “Energoreforma” of network websites and apps*).

As reported, at the beginning of last month, Serhiy Kuyun, director of the consulting firm A-95, predicted that diesel fuel prices would rise to 80 UAH/liter by the end of the month and noted the conditions for a further increase to 90 UAH/liter. At the same time, he indicated that he does not believe diesel fuel will reach 100 UAH/liter. According to him, since price spikes have affected many countries, the global economy cannot sustain such prices, and every effort will be made to offset the increase. He added that gasoline prices will rise only slightly.

Ukrnafta signed agreements on subleasing 117 gas stations for UAH 842 mln

On January 19, Ukrnafta JSC signed two agreements with Alliance Holding LLC for the sublease of gas stations (AZK) for a total amount of UAH 841.9 million, Nashe Groshi reported on February 4, citing information in the Prozorro system.

“Until September 30, 2028, Ukrnafta has subleased 117 property complexes – immovable and movable property of gas stations across Ukraine,” the publication noted.

In particular, UAH 715.9 million accounts for 99 gas stations that Alliance Holding leases from their owner, Invest-Region LLC, and another UAH 126 million accounts for 18 gas stations that Alliance Holding leased from the same company.

The founder of Invest-Region is Alliance Holding.

“The sublease fee will be determined based on a calculation of 1.74 UAH including VAT for each liter of fuel sold by Ukrnafta at these gas stations. The price of the contracts is fixed for the entire term,” Nashi Hroshi reported.

As reported, in December 2025, UKRNAFTA announced the completion of the rebranding of all 118 gas stations that previously operated under the Shell brand.

Prior to that, in August 2025, Ukrnafta and Dutch Shell Overseas Investments BV (Netherlands) finally completed the agreement on the acquisition by Ukrnafta of a 51% stake in Alliance Holding, which owned a network of 118 gas stations under the Shell brand in Ukraine.

The joint venture between Shell and Mussa Bazhaev’s Russian Alliance Group to manage the network of gas stations in Ukraine began operations in August 2007. Shell owned a 51% stake in the joint venture, while Alliance owned 49%. Alliance transferred about 150 gas stations to the joint venture, while Shell contributed cash, licenses, and the brand.

In 2014, it became known that sanctioned Russian businessman Eduard Khudainatov had bought Bazhaev’s oil assets. In June 2022, he was sanctioned by the European Union, and in October 2022, by Ukraine.

In October 2023, the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine filed a lawsuit with the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine to recover Khudainatov’s assets for the state. As a result of court proceedings, 49% of Alliance Holding was recovered for the state. In April 2024, this share was transferred to the State Property Fund.

In November 2024, Overseas Investments, part of Shell’s group of energy and petrochemical companies, registered 51% of the authorized capital of Alliance Holding in accordance with the decision of the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court.

In January 2025, the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine granted Ukrnafta permission to purchase more than 50% of the shares of Alliance Holding LLC.

Thus, Alliance Holding is currently 51% owned by Ukrnafta and 49% by the State Property Fund.
