## Prediction

Over the next seven days, Ukraine is likely to sustain a campaign of drone and missile strikes against Russian fuel depots and energy nodes in Krasnodar Krai, Crimea, and potentially Rostov, cumulatively constraining Russian operational mobility in the southern theater. While Russia will adapt with dispersal and thicker air defenses, truck and rail resupply to Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia units will become more fragile and costly. This could slow or limit Russian offensive tempo near key axes like Kostyantynivka and Huliaipole, even if territorial lines shift only marginally. Confirmation would be multiple additional depot fires, fuel train disruptions, or Russian logistics complaints; denial would be steady Russian assault activity with few credible reports of fuel shortages.

## Drivers

- Emerging trend: Ukraine expands long-range strikes to structurally degrade Russia’s fuel system
- Recent repeat strike on Poltavskaya oil base
- Drone attacks on Simferopol power and Sevastopol logistics hub
- Ukrainian leadership framing campaign as new phase of deep operations
