The government has reached a number of agreements with Western countries, which in the future should help overcome the fuel shortage in Ukraine. However, demand currently far exceeds supply and needs to be contained.. This was stated by the vice-president of the network of gas stations "

“In fact, in a month we had to arrange fuel supplies from the West, all the volumes that we used to import from Lithuania, earlier from Belarus and partially from the occupying country of Russia. We sell more today than we sold before the war. However, the problem is that twice as many customers want to fill up with us than before.. We have a big problem with supplies from neighboring countries across the western border, but the government is very helpful,” he said..

According to Kuchabsky, today the government has agreements to increase supplies by 3-4 times, these agreements are already being implemented.. Now deliveries are continuing along new routes, but it is not yet possible to be sure that it will be possible to establish logistics along these routes..

“We are very much looking forward to this resource. But no one has ever carried such large volumes along these routes: no one knows how everything will work. If it doesn’t work, we will have interruptions for a long time, ”said a representative of the gas station network.

In his opinion, government regulation can weaken the demand for fuel.

“We have always been opponents of state price regulation, but today, with the abolition of state price regulation, supplies will not increase. This question can only to some extent bring down the rush demand. Demand needs to be brought down, because we do not have time to import the required volume of goods to Ukraine,” Kuchabsky said..
