## Prediction

In the coming 7 days, Russian refined product exports are likely to decline marginally as the cumulative impact of Ukrainian strikes on refineries and storage depots, including Syzran and facilities in Bashkortostan and Yaroslavl, constrains output and logistics. Domestic re‑routing and emergency repairs will mitigate some disruption, but regional fuel tightness will increase, especially for diesel and gasoil. Global middle distillate cracks will remain supported or rise modestly as traders reassess Russian export reliability. Moscow may prioritize domestic supply and military needs, further squeezing export volumes.

## Drivers

- Confirmed halt of Syzran refinery and damage at Yaroslavl LPDS
- Fire at Kandry depot and other downstream disruptions in Bashkortostan
- Sustained trend of reciprocal deep strikes on energy and logistics ecosystems
