## Prediction

Ukraine is likely to launch at least one additional long‑range drone strike against Russian energy or logistics infrastructure (refinery, fuel depot, or rail hub) in the next 24 hours. Target selection will favor politically visible sites near major cities or in occupied Crimea to amplify psychological and logistical pressure. Continued strikes will sustain strain on Russian air defenses, marginally tighten regional refined product markets, and reinforce Kyiv’s leverage narrative with Western backers. Confirmation would be Russian or Ukrainian reporting of new deep‑strike incidents; denial would require an unusual 24‑hour pause in such operations combined with official statements emphasizing conservation of strike capacity.

## Drivers

- Recent confirmed hits on Moscow Oil Refinery and Hlibivske gas storage
- Emerging trend of Ukrainian deep‑strike erosion of Russian logistics
- Western signaling of support for Ukrainian long‑range strike capabilities
