Hetmantsev calls on fuel sellers to come to their senses and not raise prices for no reason

The chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Taxation and Customs Policy, Danylo Hetmantsev, called on fuel sellers to come to their senses and not raise prices for no reason.

Hetmantsev wrote about this on Telegram, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

"I want to address the representatives of the fuel market. I understand that this is business, and business is always business, and its main goal is profit. At the same time, in a country where there is a war and half of the country is on generators, such a powerful business as yours also has a certain social function that does not allow you to use panic for the sake of super-profits," the MP wrote.

He added that everyone understands that the jump in fuel prices currently has a very limited causal relationship with the war in Iran, at least given the time lag.

"Come to your senses. Don't force us to go to the Antimonopoly Committee," Danylo Hetmantsev summarized.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the director of the A-95 Consulting Group Serhii Kuiun believes that there is more than enough gasoline in Ukraine and there is no reason to panic.

According to the monitoring data of the A-95 Consulting Group, from March 2 to March 3, light oil products added an average of about UAH 2 per liter, crossing the UAH 65 per liter mark, and liquefied gas rose by 58 kopecks per liter to UAH 39.05 per liter.
