## Prediction

Over the coming week, cumulative damage to Russian refineries at Moscow, Taneko, and southern depots is likely to cause more widespread civilian fuel availability issues beyond localized rationing. Regions dependent on long-haul deliveries or with weaker priority status may see intermittent shortages, higher pump prices, and restrictions on nonessential consumption. This will strain rural communities, emergency response readiness, and small businesses, potentially aggravating domestic discontent in a system already stressing from war mobilization. Confirmation would be expanding rationing announcements, social media reports of dry stations, and price spikes in multiple oblasts; denial would be stable supply enabled by rapid rerouting and increased rail shipments.

## Drivers

- Tatneft rationing and cash-only fuel sales after drone strike shutdown
- Repeated hits on Moscow Oil Refinery and Poltavskaya depot
- Emerging trend: systematic Ukrainian campaign against Russian refining capacity
