Ukraine is at risk of a serious fuel shortage: causes and consequences

Our informant from the President's Office reported that airstrikes on fuel storage facilities and blocking the border could cause a serious fuel shortage. Accordingly, the Office of the President ordered the Cabinet of Ministers to prepare an alternative plan to provide the country with fuel to prevent a sharp rise in prices and shortages.

Fuel shortages and prices have increased significantly in the country. This was preceded by the restoration of taxes, attacks on oil depots by the Russians and blocking of the borders with Ukraine by European countries. Now, due to the blockade of the Polish border, the prices of fuel and autogas have increased significantly, as it is difficult for LPG suppliers to reorient to the railway due to technical limitations. They have to go around the Polish border through Slovakia or Romania, which leads to an additional increase in cost by about 3 hryvnias per liter. The tax refund only aggravated the already difficult situation on the market. Taking into account the embargo on Russian oil in Europe, and accordingly in Ukraine, the situation is only getting worse, and fuel prices continue to rise.

At the same time, there is an acute shortage of fuel in Ukraine, which may provoke an unsuccessful sowing season, which should begin in the near future. Many fields on the borders remain landmines, and high fuel prices and labor shortages due to mobilization could ultimately lead to a failed planting campaign and another rise in food prices.
