Ukrnafta begins ORLEN Arctic diesel deliveries to Ukraine ahead of winter

The first shipments of ORLEN Arctic diesel have already arrived in Ukraine. As weather conditions and market needs change, the network will offer diesel grades suited to the temperatures, ranging from transitional-season fuel to winter and Arctic grades.

“We are also preparing in advance for the 2026/2027 season: building the necessary reserves and securing diversified and reliable supply channels so that UKRNAFTA customers have access to diesel fuel with the appropriate temperature characteristics during cold weather,” Ukrnafta Management Board Chairman Bohdan Kukura said.

As previously reported, the Ukrnafta gas station network began installing gabions around its gas stations in Kyiv, including on the sides facing roads and pedestrian paths.

On Sept. 15, Russian jet-powered drones attacked two Ukrnafta gas stations in Kyiv, one on the capital’s right bank and one on the left bank. Russian forces carried out a second strike on one of the sites.

On Sept. 11, Russian drones struck Ukrnafta gas stations in two Kyiv districts.

On Sept. 10, a Russian drone hit a Ukrnafta gas station in the capital’s Holosiivskyi district, sparking a fire. Four people were injured.
