So diesel rates will increase from 139.5 euros to 177.6 euros. This will lead to an increase in the price of diesel at gas stations by UAH 1.95.

Rates for autogas will increase from 52 to 165 euros - this will lead to an increase in the price of diesel at gas stations by 5.8 hryvnia.

“But there is a very interesting situation with the excise tax on gas. The Ministry of Finance does not know how it happened that at the last moment they decided to sharply increase the increase in excise taxes on gas. There is a significant increase. While searching for documents, it turned out that the increase in gas was proposed by UkrNeft.” More precisely, Rostyslav Shurma. Instead of the detective tax being 70 euros, it will be 277 euros,” Zheleznyak noted.
