KYIV, March 30 – In 2021, total losses of the state budget from illegal turnover of petroleum products may reach UAH 20.6 billion, which will be 10% higher than the same indicator in 2020, the A-95 Consulting Group said during an online presentation of a report on illegal schemes in the Ukrainian market for petroleum products on Tuesday.

According to its experts, the projected increase in budget losses this year in the petroleum product market is due to the expected rise in fuel prices caused by the world market conditions.
