## Prediction

Within 30 days, the mutual deep‑strike trend is likely to solidify into a sustained campaign by both Russia and Ukraine against each other’s fuel and logistics infrastructure, including refineries, major depots, and key pipeline and rail junctions. Ukraine will leverage extended‑range drones to hit Russian energy nodes deep in the interior and possibly Belarus, while Russia will intensify missile and glide‑bomb attacks on Ukrainian fuel storage, ports, and airbases. This will degrade both sides’ operational tempo but hit Ukrainian civilians harder, while adding regional volatility to refined product markets. Confirmation would be a pattern of repeated strikes on large fuel facilities beyond current sporadic attacks; denial would require an unanticipated political or resource constraint reducing long‑range strike activity.

## Drivers

- Emerging and escalation trends describing a fuel‑centric deep‑strike war
- Recent Ukrainian attacks on Kerch fuel terminals and Russian claims of long‑range drone capability
- Russian ballistic and aerial strikes on Odesa and other logistics hubs
