Already 280 hryvnias per kilo: prices for oil, bread, and lard have surged in Ukraine.

The price of basic products continues to rise

According to the information from the Minfin portal, in May 2025, the basic products that Ukrainians buy continued to become more expensive. This significantly affects family budgets.

There is a notable increase in prices for vegetable oil, bakery products, and meat. For example, sunflower oil 'Oleina' demonstrated a price increase of 5.7%, rising to 81.42 UAH for a bottle of 850 ml. There is also a noticeable rise in the cost of bread and lard.

“The cost of the grocery basket is rising every month, which significantly affects the budget of an average Ukrainian family,” the study noted.

Analysis

The rise in prices for basic products in May 2025 indicates further deterioration in the financial situation of Ukrainians. The increase in food prices may lead to a reduction in expenditures on other needs, exacerbating the economic situation in the country.
