## Prediction

Over the next seven days, Russia’s refined product exports—especially diesel and gasoline—to Europe, Africa, and Latin America are likely to show a noticeable decline as Omsk’s throughput drops and other refineries operate under heightened security risk and maintenance constraints. Moscow will prioritize domestic fuel supply and key allied markets, restricting flexible exports and driving up freight and arbitrage spreads. This squeeze will support higher European and global refined product prices, incentivize non-Russian refiners to run harder, and potentially reopen marginal capacity elsewhere. Confirmation would be shipping and customs data indicating reduced Russian product outflows or re-routing; denial would be evidence Omsk damage is minor with no sustained export dip.

## Drivers

- Repeated deep-strike damage to Omsk’s primary units (AVT-10, AVT-11) and reports of local shortages
- Trend: "Mutual Deep-Strikes Turn Russia–Ukraine War Into Systemic Energy War"
- UKR attacks on Kerch oil depot and Azov Sea tankers elevating coastal logistics risk
- Existing Western sanctions and price caps already constraining Russian export flexibility
