## Prediction

Over the coming 24 hours, reports of large‑scale Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian refineries will translate into prompt tightening signals for Russian product exports, especially diesel and fuel oil. European traders will anticipate disruptions in shadow and sanctioned flows, supporting higher cracks and rerouting demand toward Middle Eastern and US Gulf Coast supplies. Russian domestic markets may see early indications of spot shortages or price controls, prompting further distortions in export volumes. Confirmation would include announcements of refinery outages, reduced loadings from key ports, or unilateral Russian export curbs; denial would be data showing normal loading schedules and refinery runs despite the claimed 500‑drone attack.

## Drivers

- Warning of 500+ Ukrainian drones hitting Russian refinery assets
- OPEC report that Russian output is already below OPEC+ quota
- Emerging trend of Ukraine targeting Russian industry and energy
- Historical sensitivity of product markets to Russian export disruptions
