The most noticeable price increase occurred on March 3, 2026, when the cost of some types of fuel jumped by 2–3 hryvnia per day. Experts do not rule out a further increase in the cost of gasoline to 80 UAH/100 UAH per liter in the near future. The Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine has already taken an interest in the situation and has begun investigating the validity of such a sharp increase in prices.
As a reminder, on March 4, the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) appealed to all gas station chains, demanding that they provide information on the reasons for the recent increase in prices for light petroleum products. They have three days to respond. The AMCU wants to make sure that businesses have not colluded to raise prices.
This was announced on Suspilne TV by AMCU Chairman Pavlo Kyrylenko. According to him, the committee sent a “comprehensive” list of questions to the gas station chains to obtain official information from businesses about the reasons and grounds for the increase in prices for petroleum products, in particular liquefied gas. The AMCU set a tight deadline for providing the data: participants in the light petroleum products market have three days to do so.
“After that, in order not to make any premature conclusions, an assessment will be provided of the reasons and grounds for the increase in prices for petroleum products and the trends that all participants in the light petroleum products market were guided by and followed. Their actions will be assessed in accordance with Article 6 of the Law on Protection of Economic Competition,” said the head of the AMCU.
The Antimonopoly Committee wants to determine whether there are signs of collusion or similar actions by market participants in the filling station networks.
He did not disclose the AMCU’s control instruments and measures in detail, but added that the Antimonopoly Committee had been exercising control over the market even before March 4, and that the trend of changes in the pricing behavior of market participants began at the end of January.
As for sanctions, if the AMCU finds violations at gas stations, violations of the law on the protection of economic competition provide for a fine of up to 10% of the revenue of each business entity for the previous reporting period (i.e., currently for the entire year 2025).
“Discretionary powers are applied there, but they are quite clearly regulated by normative legal acts and directly by the law itself, by the article that regulates the procedure for determining and imposing fines,” says Kyrylenko.
The AMCU reminded that prices for light petroleum products in Ukraine are not regulated by the state in any way, the Ukrainian market is completely dependent on imports, and fluctuations in world prices also affect the cost of fuel for consumers. They added that fuel is becoming more expensive not only in Ukraine but throughout Europe.
