In 2017, the A-92 gasoline consumption in Ukraine has amounted to 80-85K tons per month. Of these, imports have accounted for 40-45K tons, 98% of comes from Belarus. In October 2017, imports of the A-92 amounted to 9.7 thousand tons, only 4K tons of which came from Belarus.
According to enkorr.com.ua, a sharp decline in supply is due to the planned repair of the Mazyr refinery, which began on September 10 and was to end by November 2017.
