The Western Fuel and Energy Company (ZPEK) became the leader in the growth rate of diesel-fuel imports in Ukraine as of July 2026.
This is shown by data from the A-95 Consulting Group, according to which the company demonstrated the highest dynamics among all market participants, increasing its supply volumes 5.3 times compared with the same period last year — to 31.9 thousand tonnes.
"In total, 562 thousand tonnes of diesel fuel were imported into Ukraine in July, 5% more than in the same period last year. The main supplier countries remained Poland, Romania, and Lithuania, which accounted for 83% of all imports," the statement reads.
At the same time, according to the A-95 Consulting Group, the market operated amid heightened demand driven by logistical difficulties, security risks, and rising consumption.
In all, 134 companies imported diesel fuel in July. The largest supply volumes were provided by OKKO, Ukrnafta, UPG, Energo Trade JSC, and WOG. Yet it was ZPEK, according to the A-95 Consulting Group, that showed the highest import-growth rate among all market participants and entered the top tenlargest diesel-fuel importers in Ukraine.
The group's analysts note that despite the growth in import volumes, the market experienced a diesel-fuel shortage in July. Among the main reasons are the start of rising global prices due to the escalation in the Middle East, increased demand from industrial and private consumers, and higher consumption caused by the reorientation of part of agricultural exports to road and rail transport.
According to the A-95 Consulting Group's forecast, the market situation should stabilise as early as August thanks to increased supplies and falling global fuel prices.
