In the middle of December 2017, Ukrainian Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Ihor Nasalyk said that the ministry along with the Anti-Monopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) had set a commission that would analyze possible price hike collusion. On December 21, the AMCU launched a probe on the fuel market, suspecting OKKO and WOG of possible concerted actions undermining competition.
