The Ministry of Regional Development: Ukraine loses billions annually due to the activities of illegal gas stations

During a meeting with the leadership of the Oil and Gas Association of Ukraine and with representatives of petrol station chains, the Minister of Community and Territorial Development Oleksii Chernyshev said that all petrol stations are checked in Ukraine since the country loses billions annually due to illegal petrol stations.

“As a result of the joint work, the activities of all illegal petrol stations should be terminated. Work continues to identify illegal fuel trafficking. All petrol stations in Ukraine will be tested,” said the Minister of Community and Territorial Development Oleksii Chernyshev.

Representatives of the Association noted that interdepartmental groups are now working in each of the regions, whose work is aimed at stopping the illegal circulation of fuel.

The minister also noted that the strategic task is to close the shadow fuel market and create conditions for predicting fuel prices.

Recall that the State Fiscal Service stopped the sale of counterfeit fuel for more than $ 1 million.

Earlier it was reported that the tax police exposed a large-scale scheme for the sale of low-quality oil products through a well-known network of gas stations.
