Zelensky demanded that the government remove queues at gas stations

The issue of the country's fuel security was considered at a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky. The event was attended by Andrei Yermak, head of the presidential office, and his deputies, Prime Minister Denis Shmygal and members of the government.

 

This was reported in the press service of the President.

 

"The President stressed the need to eliminate queues at Ukrainian gas stations," the press service tells.

 

According to First Deputy Prime Minister-Minister of Economy Yulia Sviridenko in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues to work on providing Ukraine a green corridor in the ports of Eastern Europe, which is now the main bottleneck in the logistics of fuel supplies to the country.

 

"The need for long-term contracts and the accumulation of a state fuel reserve was also noted," the press service said.

 

Fuel shortages in Ukraine have led to additional restrictions in gas station networks.

 

According to the Economy Ministry, the shortage was also caused by strikes at the Kremenchuk oil refinery, the main producer of fuel in the country, as well as large oil depots.

 

The ministry said that the deficit will be eliminated because the operators have contracted volumes in Western Europe and are now addressing the issue of their delivery to the territory of Ukraine.
