## Prediction

In the next 7 days, Ukraine is likely to hit at least two additional Russian energy nodes—refineries, fuel depots, or terminals—continuing its strategy of eroding Russia’s fuel resilience and export capacity. Russian air defenses will adapt, improving interception rates, but the sheer volume and dispersion of Ukrainian drones will ensure some successful strikes. The cumulative impact will further constrain Russia’s refined product exports and force Moscow to ration internal fuel in some regions, with knock-on effects for logistics and public sentiment. Confirmation would be credible claims and satellite imagery of new fires or shutdowns at Russian energy sites outside the already-hit cluster; denial would be a notable lull in Ukrainian long-range strikes due to resource or diplomatic pressure.

## Drivers

- Assessment that over 30% of Russian refining has already been affected by Ukrainian strikes
- Identified trend of Ukraine targeting strategic depth infrastructure
- Russian naval and air incidents (e.g., English Channel warning shots) signaling heightened sensitivity
