The cassation of "Lukoil" was not upheld in court.

      According to the Kirov UFAS, "Lukoil" attempted to challenge the decisions of the Arbitration Court of the Kirov Region dated October 20, 2025, and the ruling of the Second Arbitration Court of Appeal dated January 29, 2026, in the cassation instance. It is likely that the issue was about unjustified price increases for gasoline. The hearings and decision-making took place in a closed session; however, as noted by the UFAS of the Kirov Region, the case was initiated based on appeals from individuals under paragraph 1 of part 1 of Article 10 of the Federal Law "On Protection of Competition" (establishment and maintenance of monopolistically high or monopolistically low prices for goods). The company tried to challenge the decision and order of the Kirov UFAS of Russia in court, but the Arbitration Court of the Kirov Region and the Second Arbitration Court of Appeal supported the position of the service. On May 21, 2026, the Arbitration Court of the Volga-Vyatka District upheld the decision of the Arbitration Court of the Kirov Region and the ruling of the Second Arbitration Court of Appeal without changes, and the cassation complaint was left unsatisfied. Recall that last Tuesday, May 19, Kirov car owners again noted an increase in the price of a liter of gasoline at the "Lukoil" network gas stations. Thus, a liter of AI-92 now costs 63.55 rubles. AI-95 - 69.12, AI-100 - 96.76, AI-95 "Euro" - 68.76. A liter of diesel can be purchased for 79.05 rubles. Recall that the previous price increase was in April. At that time, AI-92 cost 63.45 rubles, AI-95 - 68.92, AI-100 - 96.36, AI-95 "Euro" - 68.56, diesel - 79.05.
