Major fuel retailers in Ukraine have moved in opposite directions on pump pricing, with OKKO raising costs while competitor Socar reduced petrol prices.
The divergent moves highlight the fragmented nature of retail fuel markets in the region, where individual chains adjust margins independently rather than following a unified national trend.
OKKO increased its gasoline prices by 1 UAH per liter and diesel by 2 UAH per liter on July 24.
In contrast, Socar lowered its gasoline price by 1 UAH per liter while simultaneously raising diesel costs by 3 UAH per liter.
These adjustments were confirmed through the companies' official websites and mobile applications.
The mixed signals from Ukraine's largest fuel networks come as global retail fuel prices show similar volatility.
