Alkagesta recently attended the PROкачай АЗС 2026 industry conference held in Kyiv, Alkagesta reported. The event functioned as a central hub for Ukrainian fuel retail operators and service providers to engage through a combination of exhibitions, conferences, and direct business-to-business networking sessions. By participating in this forum, the company aimed to strengthen its engagement with the local energy sector and explore evolving market requirements within the country.

Representing the company at the event was Elchin Aliyev, who serves as the Regional Commodity Trader for Ukraine. During the proceedings, he engaged with various filling station network representatives to review current fuel procurement requirements. These discussions also encompassed the development of future supply programmes, the evaluation of various delivery models, and the potential for establishing long-term strategic partnerships within the Ukrainian retail fuel market.

The conference programme addressed a wide array of operational and infrastructure-related topics essential to the fuel retail sector. A significant portion of the agenda was dedicated to a panel discussion regarding fuel retail security and operational resilience during wartime. This subject remains a critical focus for the industry as Ukraine’s energy distribution infrastructure continues to adapt to ongoing operational pressures.

For Alkagesta, the event served as a strategic opportunity to connect with key counterparties responsible for procurement decisions across the national filling station network. These interactions are vital for the company, which maintains active trading operations in Ukraine. Its current portfolio in the region includes the distribution of petroleum products, fertilizers, and biofuels.

By maintaining a presence at such industry gatherings, the company gains direct access to the downstream fuel retail market. This engagement supports the firm’s broader strategy of aligning its supply capabilities with the specific needs of the Ukrainian market. Such networking remains essential for navigating the complex logistics and procurement landscape currently facing the regional energy sector.
