## Prediction

Ukraine is likely to launch another wave of long‑range drone strikes against Russian oil refineries, storage depots, and port infrastructure within the next 24 hours, building on recent hits at Ilsky, Taganrog, Stavropol, Tver, and the Sea of Azov. Target selection will favor facilities tied to export logistics or the shadow fleet, signaling Kyiv’s intent to weaponize Russia’s energy vulnerability. This will force Russia to divert air defense assets away from the front and raise local accident and environmental risks near targeted facilities. Confirmation would be geolocated footage, Russian regional alerts, or claims of downed drones over energy nodes; denial would be an unexpected operational pause combined with lack of air raid or fire reports around such sites.

## Drivers

- Recent confirmed or reported Ukrainian drone strikes on Ilsky refinery and Taganrog port
- Strikes on Russian oil depots in Stavropol and Tver, hundreds of kilometers from front
- Attacks on Russian shadow fleet tankers in the Sea of Azov
- Emerging trend: Ukraine ramps deep‑strike campaign on Russian energy and logistics
