“In a country where there is a war and half the country is on generators, such a powerful business as yours also has a certain social function that does not allow panic to be used for super-profits,” he wrote.
Getmantsev noted that the jump in fuel prices so far has a very limited causal relationship with the war in Iran.
“Come to your senses. Don't force us to contact the Antimonopoly [комитет]”, he urged.
The People's Deputy noted that in price jumps there is still more speculation and a desire to make money than real problems with rising prices or a reduction in supplies. More importantly, because of the war in Iran, the next round of negotiations between the trilateral working groups actually broke down, and the new date for the meeting is unknown, he noted.
Later, Getmantsev said that he contacted the head of the Antimonopoly Committee about this issue.
“The work of any state mechanism in the legal field is not fast, but the result is inevitable. That is why I advise business entities to draw conclusions as soon as possible,” he emphasized.
Context
Fuel prices have begun to rise in Ukraine. It was caused primarily by panic amid the war in Iran and fears about the possible closure of the straits, and not by a real shortage, he said Director of the A-95 Consulting Group Sergei Kuyun.
In connection with the increase in prices, the Committee on Energy and Housing and Communal Services reported that there is currently no shortage of fuel in Ukraine.
