Ukraine\u2019s diesel fuel supplies are secure until the end of March, with imports increasing at a rate of around 17,000 tonnes per day. However, the outlook for April supplies remains uncertain due to rising prices.<\/p>\n
According to analysts at consulting firm Enkorr, Ukraine has largely switched to importing fuel from Western, Central and Southern Europe following massive Russian attacks that severely damaged refineries.<\/p>\n
March supplies could reach 522,000 tonnes, almost on par with last year. However, the situation for April remains uncertain as suppliers have yet to finalise deals.<\/p>\n

There is concern among market participants about a possible further increase in fuel prices if hostilities continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
