## Prediction

Within a week, deepening fuel shortages and rationing in Crimea alongside ongoing Ukrainian strikes will begin to disrupt Black Sea regional logistics, particularly trucking and local shipping that support agricultural exports and seasonal tourism. While major grain exports from mainland Ukrainian ports will continue under separate constraints, road and small‑port movements around occupied Crimea and adjacent regions will slow, raising costs and delays for regional trade. Russian authorities may reallocate scarce fuel toward military and strategic economic flows, further squeezing civilian commerce. Confirmation would be reports of delayed shipments, higher trucking rates, and reduced ferry or coastal shipping schedules; if authorities quickly stabilize supplies via new routes, the economic shock will be smaller.

## Drivers

- Crimea expanding fuel rationing due to sustained Ukrainian strikes
- Ukrainian attacks on Crimean gas stations and infrastructure
- Occupation recognition of priority allocations for state functions
- Importance of road fuel to Black Sea coastal logistics
