Svyrydenko Spoke About Ukraine's Fuel Reserves

There are currently no problems with fuel supplies in Ukraine. There are sufficient reserves to meet the needs of citizens, businesses, the Armed Forces, and critical infrastructure.

According to her, the government is closely monitoring the situation due to regular Russian attacks on fuel infrastructure. Particular attention is currently being paid to communities near the front lines, where the risks to gas station operations remain the highest. “Russian strikes on gas stations are becoming a systemic challenge to people’s safety and the functioning of the fuel infrastructure,” Svyrydenko noted.

She emphasized that the country has sufficient fuel supplies and there is currently no shortage. “We are proactively implementing a set of measures that will continue to ensure an uninterrupted supply of fuel for citizens, businesses, security and defense forces, and critical infrastructure,” the prime minister said.

During the meeting, participants also discussed additional measures to protect the operation of gas stations in regions that are regularly under threat of Russian attacks. The government, together with fuel market operators, continues to coordinate efforts to avoid supply disruptions and ensure the stable operation of transportation, businesses, and critical infrastructure.

According to Svyrydenko, the main task now is not only to maintain sufficient fuel reserves but also to ensure that fuel reaches people without hindrance, even amid constant attacks. Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko made this statement following a coordination meeting with petroleum product market operators and representatives of government agencies.
