Poland, Romania and Lithuania accounted for 83% of all diesel fuel imports into Ukraine in July 2026, indicating the high concentration of the country’s fuel logistics across three European routes.
In total, Ukraine imported 562,000 tonnes of diesel fuel during the month, 5% more than in July last year, according to a study by the A-95 Consulting Group.
Poland was the largest supplier, providing 202,800 tonnes, or about 36% of total imports. Over the year, Polish supplies increased by 26%, from 161,000 tonnes.
Romania ranked second with 179,300 tonnes. Supplies increased by 25% and reached their highest level since the beginning of 2025.
Lithuania ranked third, demonstrating the highest growth rate among the three main suppliers. Imports from the country increased by 65%, from 51,200 tonnes to 84,300 tonnes.
Together, these three countries supplied about 466,000 tonnes of diesel fuel out of total imports of 562,000 tonnes.
This supply structure resulted from a significant restructuring of Ukraine’s fuel logistics.
According to A-95 Director Serhii Kuiun, the increased pressure on the Polish route is primarily associated with the record shallowing of the Danube and security risks.
At the same time, the importance of several alternative routes declined sharply. Supplies from Hungary decreased from approximately 80,000 tonnes in July last year to 42,700 tonnes this year, while supplies from Greece fell from 60,700 tonnes to 33,100 tonnes. Imports from Türkiye also declined to several thousand tonnes.
The high concentration of supplies allows the Ukrainian market to use the developed infrastructure of EU countries, but simultaneously increases its dependence on the stability of several major logistics corridors.
At the corporate level, ORLEN S.A. remains the largest supplier. Through its refineries in Poland and Lithuania, the company shipped 137,000 tonnes of diesel fuel to Ukraine, accounting for about a quarter of total imports.
