In 2022 almost a fifth of total energy supply in Ukraine was from oil, and most energy imports were oil products such as gasoline and diesel.[1] The country used to produce its own oil.[2] Strategic reserves of oil and products were set up after 2023 to help with energy security.[3]
Products from Lukoil have been banned from transiting the country,[4] except to Hungary.[5] This goes through the Druzhba pipeline.[6] Excise duty on diesel and gasoline was increased in 2024.[7] The Odesa–Brody pipeline is not being used as of 2023.[8] Refineries, such as Kremenchuk were destroyed or shutdown in 2022 in the Russo-Ukrainian war.[9]
Formerly supplied from Russia and Belarus, gasoline and diesel now come from ports in Poland and Romania.[10]
