Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov said that gasoline prices in Ukraine would not return to pre-war levels.
Danilov made the corresponding statement in an interview with the League. So he answered the question of when the problem of gasoline shortage will be solved.
I think this is more an economic issue than a technological one. I think it will be resolved after a certain period. But you need to understand that the price that was before will no longer exist. If the world price for gasoline is, conditionally, two euros per liter, how can we have one euro?

In Ukraine, there was a fuel shortage at filling stations in the last week of April. In order to solve the issue of its deficit, on April 29 the government raised the marginal prices for gasoline and diesel fuel by 40-43%.
On May 17, the government suspended price regulation in the fuel market. According to the Cabinet of Ministers, after this decision, the expected marginal prices for diesel fuel should not exceed UAH 58 per liter, and for gasoline - no more than UAH 52 per liter.
Later, the State Consumer Service began checking gas stations due to inflated fuel prices.
