## Prediction

Ukraine is likely to step up drone and stand-off attacks on Russian logistics and energy infrastructure—including depots in Bryansk, Rostov, and along the Mariupol–Taganrog corridor—over the next seven days. Building on recent strikes on an oil depot in Unecha (Bryansk) and attacks on the Mariupol–Volnovakha road, Kyiv will aim to strain Russian fuel supply and frontline sustainment. Expect more frequent attacks on rail junctions, storage sites, and road convoys, with occasional fires and localized shortages. Russia will respond with enhanced air defenses, EW, and punitive strikes on Ukrainian energy assets.

## Drivers

- Recent Ukrainian UAV strike on Unecha oil depot and drone hits on Mariupol–Volnovakha road
- Emerging trend of systematic pressure on Russia’s southern logistics and energy spine
- Mutual deep interdiction trend in the Ukraine–Russia air war
