## Prediction

Over the next 30 days, the Kremlin is likely to use Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries and industrial sites as a pretext to expand domestic emergency authorities, including economic mobilization measures and tighter control over information and labor. The government may frame these as necessary to protect 'critical infrastructure,' enabling redirection of resources and personnel to military-linked industries and limiting dissent. Such measures will entrench Russia’s war economy and complicate any future de-escalation or negotiated settlement. Confirmation would be decrees on mobilization of industry, harsher penalties for infrastructure 'sabotage,' and expanded security powers; a more restrained response focusing only on technical repairs would point to a less radical shift.

## Drivers

- Series of Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy and defense-industrial targets
- Existing Russian trajectory toward war-economy policies
- Utility of external attacks in justifying internal crackdowns
- Emerging trend of hybrid warfare focusing on critical civilian infrastructure
