Ukraine has extended its ban on natural gas exports through 2026, while scrapping prior export quotas on K-grade coking coal and food-grade salt, according to a government resolution dated December 31, 2025, as cited by Interfax.

The document outlines updated licensing and quota regulations for imports and exports, and is publicly available on the government's website.

Exports of natural gas of Ukrainian origin, along with gold, silver, and precious metal waste and scrap, will remain prohibited under zero export quotas. The export ceiling for fuel oil remains unchanged at 400,000 tonnes.

Exports of wheat, corn, rapeseed, and sunflower seeds will continue to require export licenses when bound for Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, and Bulgaria, said the document.

Sugar exports to the EU will be capped at 100,000 tonnes, in line with annual EU-Ukraine quota agreements. Export quotas for poultry products, including chicken, duck, goose, and turkey, previously in effect last year, have been absent from the 2026 resolution.

The Ministry of Economy will allocate sugar export quotas proportionally based on verified production data from 2025. Exporters must submit notarized copies of state statistical documentation for the corresponding months last year by January 20, 2026.

Meanwhile, Ukraine will continue to license and limit imports of ozone-depleting substances and fluorinated greenhouse gases, along with any goods or equipment containing them.
