## Prediction

In the next 24 hours, Ukraine is likely to continue targeting Russian oil logistics and air-defense assets linked to the Black Sea, building on recent hits in Volgograd, Novorossiysk, and Crimea. Additional drones or missiles will probably focus on pumping stations, storage facilities, and SAM systems protecting key ports, seeking cumulative disruption rather than a single decisive outage. This will stress Russian air-defense coverage and create intermittent constraints on Black Sea export capacity, forcing Russia into costly re-routing and repair campaigns. Confirmation would be new strikes on energy or SAM infrastructure in Krasnodar, Volgograd, or Crimea; a visible Russian pause in offensive air and missile activity from the Black Sea region could be a contrarian signal of successful hardening or deterrence.

## Drivers

- Recent Ukrainian strikes on Grushovaya Balka oil hub at Novorossiysk
- Drone debris fire at Volgograd oil pumping station feeding Novorossiysk
- Multiple Ukrainian drone attacks on SAM systems in Crimea and Zaporizhzhia
- Trend toward mutual deep-strike campaigns against energy and logistics
