Ukrainian gasoline prices could rise to 100 UAH per litre due to currency instability and infrastructure attacks [1].
These potential price surges threaten to increase transportation costs across the country and could lead to widespread fuel shortages if distribution networks are further compromised.
Andriy Zakrevskyi, deputy director of the Association of Energy and Natural Resources of Ukraine, said the cost of a full tank of fuel now varies by hundreds of hryvnias between different networks [2]. This volatility is driven by the differing exchange rates of the U.S. dollar and the euro [3].
Market instability is further exacerbated by physical security threats. Reports indicate that attacks on fuel infrastructure increased during June 2026 [4]. These strikes target gas stations and supply chains, creating a precarious environment for fuel availability across Ukraine [3, 4].
Zakrevskyi said the combination of economic pressure and infrastructure damage creates a high risk of price spikes. The disparity in pricing across various fuel networks suggests a lack of market stabilization as providers react to fluctuating import costs, and supply disruptions [2].
As the situation persists, the risk of shortages remains a primary concern for both commercial logistics and private citizens. The impact of the June 2026 attacks continues to ripple through the market, limiting the ability of stations to maintain consistent pricing and stock levels [4].
“Gasoline prices could rise to 100 UAH per litre”
The convergence of currency devaluation and targeted infrastructure strikes creates a double-pressure system on the Ukrainian energy market. When import costs rise alongside a decrease in physical supply, the result is typically rapid inflation and panic buying, which can accelerate the onset of fuel shortages.
