## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, Ukraine is likely to execute additional drone or missile strikes against Russian fuel trucks, depots, or naval logistics nodes serving Crimea and southern fronts. Russian forces in occupied Crimea and Kherson–Zaporizhzhia will see tightening fuel availability, constraining local operational tempo and civilian mobility. This pressure will force Russia to reroute fuel via longer, more vulnerable corridors, amplifying exposure to further Ukrainian deep strikes and gradually eroding front-line resilience. Confirmation would be new reports of attacked tankers, depots, or transport bans; denial would be rapid easing of rationing and resumed normal gasoline sales in Crimea.

## Drivers

- Documented Ukrainian attacks on fuel trucks in Prymorsk
- Halt of gasoline sales in occupied Crimea and rationing in at least 15 Russian regions
- Ukrainian drone strikes on a Russian patrol ship, Yurkine base, and Strelkove air defenses
