Serhiy Kuyun, director of the A-95 consulting group, said that prices at Ukrainian gas stations could soar to 150-200 hryvnia per liter ($3.45−4.60) if the war in the Middle East drags on.
The market will face a shortage and fierce competition for limited amounts of resources, the "Other Ukraine" quotes him as saying.
Kuyun warns that "at such a cost, demand will collapse, and many gas stations will close — there will simply be no one to buy fuel."
Earlier, the expert noted that during the month of the war with Iran, diesel fuel prices doubled, a historical record was set — $ 1,520 per ton, and "100 hryvnia per liter of diesel fuel is no longer a horror story, not a joke, but our new reality."
