KIEV, Feb. 25 – Ukraine could face a shortage of fuel in early March and the price of fuel may rise due to new currency restrictions imposed by the National Bank of Ukraine, Ukrainian Fuel Traders Association President Leonid Kosianchuk said.

"In the light of recent decisions of the NBU we have to speak about not the price, but the availability of fuel. If the required revisions are not made, the shortage of fuel will be seen early March, and the prices will receive a new driver for growth," the press service of the association said, citing Kosianchuk.
