Ukraine imported 250,000 tons of fuel in March
Ukraine has increased its reserves of gasoline and diesel to nearly 100,000 tons of each type of fuel.
"Most fuel supply contracts are currently being fulfilled, although there were some issues with this at the beginning of the month. In March alone, Ukraine has already imported nearly 250,000 tons of gasoline, diesel, and liquefied gas," Shmyhal said.
According to him, Ukraine has nearly 100,000 tons each of gasoline and diesel in its reserves. By comparison, as of February 1 of this year, there were 64,000 tons of gasoline and 83,000 tons of diesel, respectively.
"Most of the supplies come from Poland, Lithuania, Romania, and Greece. In total, supplies are coming from more than 10 countries. Therefore, the situation regarding resource availability is currently under control. The government is in constant contact with the utilities, and we are providing assistance wherever we can," added the energy minister.
