KYIV, Sept 5 – Ukraine increased fuel imports 12-fold over the six months of the war – from almost 60,000 tons in March to 710,000 tons in August, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy Yulia Svyrydenko said.

"If in March we imported an average of 827 tons of gasoline and 1,400 tons of diesel fuel per day, then in August – 4,200 tons and 16,900 tons, respectively. We see a gradual accumulation of oil products on the market due to the constant growth of imports. That is why today there is no excessive demand for fuel, there are no queues at gas stations, and prices do not show a tendency to rapid growth," Svyrydenko said, the words of which are quoted in the message of the Ministry of Economy on the website on Friday.
