The UPG network was the first among petrol stations to reduce retail fuel prices — UPG Network

The company has initiated a price review in light of the significant rise in the cost of petroleum products since the start of 2026.

UPG was the first of the major operators to begin reducing its retail prices, according to ‘NaftoRynok’.

The price of petrol fell by 2 UAH/litre, whilst diesel became 1 UAH/litre cheaper.

Following the price adjustment, the cost of A-95 petrol at the network’s filling stations stands at 71.90 UAH per litre (premium A-95+ costs 74.90 UAH). The price of regular diesel fuel has settled at 84.90 UAH per litre, whilst DP+ costs 87.90 UAH.

Analysts point out that this reduction comes against a backdrop of prolonged fuel price rises.

Since the start of 2026, the average price per litre of A-95 petrol has risen by 10.26 UAH, diesel by 17.28 UAH, and liquefied petroleum gas by 5.47 UAH.
