## Prediction

Across the next seven days, Ukraine is likely to scale up long-range UAV and missile attacks on Russian refineries, storage depots, and logistics bridges like the recently hit structure near Rozdolne in Crimea. This will compel Russia to divert advanced air defense systems and EW assets away from front-line support to cover critical infrastructure in Krasnodar, Crimea, and other high-value regions. While it may not stop Russian tactical advances, it will raise operational costs, complicate fuel logistics, and generate domestic political pressure as shortages become more visible. Confirmation would be multiple new strikes on refineries or fuel depots and publicized domestic fuel queues; denial would be a sudden drop in Ukrainian long-range sorties due to munitions or political constraints.

## Drivers

- Multiple Ukrainian attacks on Slavyansk-na-Kubani refinery and Crimea bridge destruction
- Emerging trend of Ukraine’s expanded deep-strike campaign degrading Russia’s energy base
- Russian discussion of diesel export bans and visible product shortages
