## Prediction

Within 24 hours, Ukraine is likely to launch additional long‑range drone sorties toward Russian energy assets beyond the already claimed strike in Tyumen, probing air defenses and demonstrating the approach to 3,000 km range. Likely targets include secondary fuel depots, rail junctions serving refineries, and regional storage hubs rather than headline refineries themselves. This will stress Russian air defense coverage in the interior and raise internal political scrutiny over homeland vulnerability. Confirmation would be Russian reports or videos of downed or impact drones in deep rear regions east of the Urals; denial would be an absence of such reports and Ukrainian focus on Crimea only.

## Drivers

- Zelensky claim of 2,500 km strikes and imminent 3,000 km range
- Recent large Ukrainian drone strike on Kerch and rear‑area fuel targets
- Trend of mutual deep‑strike campaigns reshaping the conflict into a fuel war
