## Prediction

Over the next seven days, Russian exports of key refined products—particularly diesel, gasoline, and naphtha—are likely to fall 5–10% from recent levels due to cumulative damage and precautionary maintenance at targeted refineries. Repeated Ukrainian strikes on Slavyansk EKO, Slavyanskaya gas processing, and attempts on Slavneft-YANOS will force rerouting, output cuts, and risk-based downtimes. European and global markets will feel tighter diesel supply, supporting higher cracks and pushing some importers to compete more aggressively for Middle East and US Gulf barrels. Confirmation would be Russian export data showing loadings down, higher domestic prices, and use of fuel reserves; denial would be rapid restoration of output and clear evidence of minimal damage effects.

## Drivers

- New Ukrainian strikes knocking out Slavyansk-na-Kuban refinery again
- Fires and explosions at nearby gas processing unit
- Emerging trend: Ukrainian deep strikes degrading Russian energy base
- Sustained trend: Russian domestic fuel shortages from infrastructure warfare
