PJSC Ukrnafta, the Ukrainian oil company, paid UAH 22.5 billion in taxes and UAH 5 billion in dividends to the state in January–September 2025, the company said Monday, citing acting CEO Yuriy Tkachuk.

According to the company, Ukrnafta is currently developing a new strategic direction – "gas to power." Its portfolio includes over 400 MW of distributed generation projects being implemented in partnership with the EBRD and with grant support from the governments of Sweden, Norway, Germany, and the Netherlands.
Ukrnafta is Ukraine’s largest oil extraction company and operates the largest national network of filling stations Ukrnafta. In 2024, the company assumed management of Glusco’s assets. In 2025, it completed a deal with Shell Overseas Investments BV to acquire the Shell network in Ukraine. It operates a total of 662 filling stations.

The largest shareholder in Ukrnafta is Naftogaz Ukrainy, which holds a 50% plus one share.

The Ministry of Defense now oversees these shares.
