Ukrainian gas stations are being destroyed by hundreds: traders explained high prices

The Russian army destroys gas stations by the hundreds, and it costs Ukrainian networks dearly. Ukrainian traders explained the high prices in the country.

"Over the past two months, more than 150 gas stations have burned down in Ukraine. Oil depots and other fuel infrastructure facilities are attacked almost weekly," Andrei Pivovarsky, CEO of the WOG network, ex—Minister of Infrastructure, wrote on Facebook[1]. The general director of the WOG network, ex-Minister of Infrastructure, Andrei Pivovarsky.

According to current estimates, destroyed gas stations account for 3-4% of the total number of gas stations on the Ukraine.

The message of the head of a large network of gas stations, however, was not about high losses, but in order to explain the high fuel prices in the country.

In his opinion, Ukraine has created a diversified fuel market and, despite the losses, it is working.

"But such a model has its price. Sustainability costs money," said Andriy Pivovarsky, adding that the Ukrainian market is already preparing for a difficult winter.: "Stocks are being formed, logistics capacities are being booked, contracts are being concluded."

With this, the head of WOG explains why, for example, diesel fuel has fallen in price only to 129 rubles.

As EADaily reported, the Russian army continues retaliatory strikes and gas stations have been actively destroyed recently. For example, in the city of Trostyanets, Sumy region, all gas stations were disabled. Naftogaz announced this week the destruction of three of its gas stations in three regions of the country.
