🛢️ **Fuel Prices in Ukraine: Stability or Calm Before the Storm?** On August 18, 2026, the fuel market demonstrates surprising stability despite risks. Experts explain the reasons for price differences and warn of hidden threats. 🔹 **Why is "Ukrnafta" cheaper?** A difference of 300 UAH per tank is often compensated by bonuses in premium networks. But the main reason is "grey" schemes used by cheap competitors. 🔹 **Taxes or Greed?** Expert Dmytro Leushkin asserts: taxes are the same, and the price difference is the result of tax evasion and "envelope salaries". 🔹 **Hurricane Threat.** The main risk to prices is the weather in the USA. Storms in August-September could reduce supplies to Europe and drive up prices in Ukraine. 🔹 **Fuel Quality.** Cheap gasoline at mini-refineries is often a surrogate. The situation with diesel is better, but risks remain. 📉 The market has adapted to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, but weather factors remain the main "black swan". #fuel #gasstations #economy #Ukraine #gasoline #diesel
