## Prediction

Over the next seven days, Ukraine is likely to broaden its deep-strike campaign from Moscow-area infrastructure to additional fuel depots and logistics hubs in Russia’s south, particularly Krasnodar Krai and possibly Rostov and Bryansk. The operational goal will be to strain Russian military logistics feeding the southern front and Black Sea operations while showcasing reach. This will raise the risk of collateral damage near civilian settlements and transit routes, and could prompt Russia to deploy more layered air defenses away from the front. Confirmation would be multiple verified UAV or missile hits on depots beyond Poltavskaya; denial would be a Ukrainian pause under Western pressure or resource limits.

## Drivers

- Recent Ukrainian strikes on Poltavskaya oil depot in Krasnodar
- Emerging trend of systematic strikes on Russian oil ecosystem
- Ukrainian emphasis on degrading Russian logistics and energy as strategic coercion
