In July, restrictions on the sale of fuel for Ukrainian motorists will disappear. After all, there are already enough oil products on the market to cancel such limits.

This was announced at a briefing by the head of the Verkhovna Rada committee on energy issues Andriy Gerus.

“In June, about 600 thousand tons of oil products entered the Ukrainian market: 400 thousand tons are diesel, 200 thousand tons are gasoline and liquefied gas. All these receipts are from the European direction,” Gerus said.

According to him, in June the supply of fuel to the market increased by 50% compared to May, so the situation at gas stations is stabilizing. In particular, almost all gas stations in the west of the country have fuel and there are practically no queues.

Gerus hopes for the stabilization of the market throughout the government-controlled territory of Ukraine in July and for the removal of restrictions on the sale of fuel, which still remain at part of the gas station.

“Nevertheless, we urge to consume oil products responsibly and use the car when it is really needed,” the MP said.

In addition, he stressed that the plan of the Russian Federation to create a large-scale fuel crisis in Ukraine has not been implemented and will not be implemented. In addition, Ukraine has managed to significantly diversify supplies: now more than a third of the fuel demand comes from no country.

Recall, as previously reported by the government, in June 2022 Ukraine plans to increase the import of gasoline and diesel fuel by approximately 63% compared to May – up to 600,000 tons.

At the end of May, the Cabinet of Ministers decided to purchase oil products abroad and send them to the state’s priority needs and increase the state reserve.

In addition, gas station chains have begun to conclude the first agreements for the supply of fuel, the price of which is no longer limited by government regulation. One of the proposals gives an idea of ​​the price level that can be expected from Socar, WOG, Shell, Parallel and Neftek gas stations.

As you know, on May 17, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine suspended state regulation of fuel prices. An agreement was reached with market operators on the maximum cost of gasoline and diesel at filling stations.

Earlier, the National Security and Defense Council named the reasons for the shortage of fuel in Ukraine – this is the cessation of the work of the Kremenchug Oil Refinery and the blocking of seaports by the Russians. In addition, damage to oil depots by shelling by the Russian military entails difficulties with the storage and supply of fuel.
