## Prediction

Over the next 7 days, persistent Ukrainian strikes and slow repairs will keep key Crimean power plants and oil depots partially offline, forcing Russia to rely more heavily on the Zaporizhzhia–Chonhar land corridor and alternate fuel trucking routes. These routes are already under Ukrainian missile and drone pressure, raising the probability of bottlenecks and intermittent shortages for Russian units in southern Ukraine and Crimea. Strategically, this will weaken Russia’s operational tempo around the Azov and Kherson axes and may incentivize riskier Russian moves to secure or expand supply corridors. Confirmation would be repeated Ukrainian attacks on Chonhar-related nodes and Russian efforts to harden or diversify land logistics; rapid stabilization of Crimean power and fuel flows would soften this outcome.

## Drivers

- Recent medium-level strikes on Chonhar logistics and Zaporizhzhia land corridor
- High-impact fires at Kamysh-Burunskaya CHPP and Kerch oil terminal
- Emerging trend: Ukraine escalates deep-strike campaign on Russian energy and defense industry
