Oil in Ukraine

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]
