KIEV, March 21 – Kiev-based United Petroleum Consultants (UPECO) forecasts a slowdown in the pace of growth in the prices of fuel in the third 10-day period of March compared to the two previous 10-day periods.

"We have passed the peak of the pace of growth in the prices [of fuel] – a record in the second 10-day period of March, and I think that in the third 10-day period of March, the pace of growth would slow, although it would continue under the pressure of new stocks and supplies that are now being supplied to Ukraine," UPECO CEO Serhiy Kuyun said at a press conference on Thursday.
