## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, fires and spills from Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, pumping stations, and oil depots in Samara, Vladimir, and Novorossiysk will create localized air and water pollution, posing short-term respiratory risks for nearby populations and workers. Emergency services will focus on extinguishing tank fires and preventing contamination spread, diverting resources from other civilian needs. The environmental damage will also feed Russian narratives about Ukrainian 'terrorism,' potentially hardening domestic support for further strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure. Confirmation would be air quality advisories, evacuations near facilities, or river contamination reports; rapid containment of fires and limited media coverage would suggest more contained humanitarian impact.

## Drivers

- Reported damage to 10–15 storage tanks at Grushovaya oil terminal
- Fires at Vtorovo and Lobkovo pumping stations
- Kuibyshev and Novokuybyshevsk refinery strikes
- Trend of mutual infrastructure targeting with collateral environmental impacts
