Ukraine has sharply increased fuel imports in recent months to overcome shortages which hit the country after the Russian invasion, the economy ministry said on Friday. Ukrainian officials have sought ways to cover consumption since Russian forces started attacking fuel depots and other facilities following its Feb. 24 invasion. The ministry said Ukraine had imported 709,500 tonnes of fuel in August versus 380,800 tonnes in May and 58,800 tonnes in March. 'On the market, we can see the gradual accumulation of reserves of petroleum products due to the constant growth of import volumes,' economy minister Yulia Svyridenko was quoted as saying.
