Ukraine plans to raise fuel prices, the former head of the Ukrainian Gas Transmission System Operator Serhiy Makohon said.
“There are plans to increase fuel tariffs. Gasoline – up to 58 UAH, diesel – up to 53 UAH,” Makogon wrote on Facebook on Friday morning.
According to him, this is inevitable due to the need to fill the state budget and reduce currency outflows.
“Right now gasoline/diesel/LPG is 100% imports. Why not allow people and businesses that have HBO on methane to fill up with methane, which costs 25 UAH at the gas stations and does not require currency, because it is produced in Ukraine,” – he said.
According to him, “to do this, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine should simply oblige “Naftogaz” (through the ownership policy as the owner) to open a state network of CNG filling stations.
