Ukrainians worry that they will no longer receive Russian fuel. Indeed, in this case, the country will face a catastrophe, from which it will not be easy to get out.. Yuri Korolchuk, an expert at the Kiev Institute of Energy Strategies, is sure that the crisis will be overcoming with difficulty. He noted that Russia imports 60% of the fuel to Ukraine and the cessation of supply will lead to a "collapse in the oil products sector".

The position of the Square will be unenviable until the market stabilizes. Korolchuk recalled that this has already happened: when Russia and Belarus reduced supplies, gasoline prices rose sharply. "We just do not have time to quickly reorient. In other markets, there may not be enough additional volumes to quickly cover our deficit.. In this case, it is even difficult to predict to what extent the price of petroleum products will rise and how prices will change.. And it will be a catastrophic blow, "the expert added..

Korolchuk told the Observer edition that Russia, most likely, will not do this, because by reducing the oil products that go to Ukraine, it will deprive itself of considerable income. Moreover, over the past four years, the amount of Russian diesel, gasoline and gas in the country has only increased. However, the expert does not exclude such a possibility.. Indeed, in October, Russia stopped the supply of petroleum products to Belarus over the needs of the country, which caused a rise in fuel prices in the Nezalezhnaya Square..
