Ukrainian fuel stations have begun limiting diesel fuel sales to 50–100 liters per customer due to a shortage caused by reduced imports, limited European supply, and reduced water levels in the Danube River affecting river transport. Prices for diesel have risen significantly, reaching 90.55 hryvnias per liter by July 31.
