The rise in gasoline prices, which are currently observed in Ukraine, is largely provoked not by a shortage of fuel, but by rush demand. Sergey Kuyun, director of the consulting group A-95, told about this on the air of Radio NV.

" If you sum up everything that is delivered to Kyiv, it is not very different from the pre-war level. That is, they carry a lot of fuel, but it seems that it goes to dry land, because people...

Regarding prices, Kuyun recalled that 10 days ago gasoline cost 40-45 hryvnia per liter, but now the price is much higher.

“Now we see UAH 52, 58, 60 per liter in key chains. This is already a reaction to high demand, and I don’t know, maybe this is not the final level, maybe it will be even higher in order to continue trying to overcome this rush demand,” he said..

According to the vseazs website, prices for the day (from May 30 to May 31) remained practically unchanged, at least in the Kyiv region.

Thus, the average cost of A-95 gasoline in the Kyiv region as of Tuesday, May 31, is 51.25 UAH/l. The price tag for A-95 gasoline is slightly cheaper - 51.00 UAH / l. A-92 can be purchased for 50.45 UAH/l. Prices for diesel fuel are set at 57.00 UAH/l, and diesel fuel plus - 56.50 UAH/l. The price tag for autogas is 40.20 UAH.
