## Prediction

Within 24 hours, Ukraine is likely to launch at least one more long-range drone strike targeting Russian refineries or fuel terminals, causing a temporary shutdown or visible fire but not additional double-digit capacity loss. Kyiv will seek to maintain psychological pressure and exploit Russian air defense gaps while global markets reassess the cumulative impact on diesel and gasoline exports. Moscow will respond with publicized interceptions and modest retaliatory missile salvos on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Confirmation would be geolocated footage of an impacted Russian energy facility and NOTAMs or local reports of air defense activity; denial would be a pause in deep strikes following the halt of Moscow’s largest refinery.

## Drivers

- Reporting that over 30% of Russian refining capacity has been affected by Ukrainian strikes
- Recent successful attack forcing Moscow’s largest refinery offline
- Documented Ukrainian doctrine of sustained deep strikes on energy and logistics nodes
