## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, loadings and near-term scheduling for Russian Urals crude and diesel exports from Novorossiysk and Volga-connected ports are likely to be disrupted as operators assess refinery and terminal damage in Samara and Grushovaya. Traders will widen discounts on Russian grades while pushing up European diesel cracks as they anticipate tighter Russian product supply. Some cargoes may be deferred or re-routed to alternate terminals, adding logistical friction and raising freight costs for Black Sea tankers. Confirmation would be reported force majeure, port scheduling delays, or steepening discounts for Russian grades; quick restoration announcements and normal loading data would soften the impact.

## Drivers

- Strikes on Kuibyshev and Novokuybyshevsk refineries in Samara
- Damage to 10–15 storage tanks at Novorossiysk Grushovaya oil terminal
- Emerging trend of Ukrainian deep strikes on Russian energy infrastructure
- Multiple oil pumping station fires in Vladimir region
