## Prediction

Over the next week, continued Russian strikes on Odesa and Ukrainian attacks on fuel infrastructure in occupied Mariupol will degrade local fuel availability, power stability, and logistical support for civilians. Residents in affected urban areas will face more frequent outages, higher transport costs, and pressure to relocate, especially from frontline-adjacent or port districts. Humanitarian actors will struggle to maintain safe corridors and stable supply lines under intensifying reciprocal strikes. Confirmation would be reported fuel and electricity rationing, increased civilian evacuations, and NGO warnings; denial would be successful protection or rapid repair of key fuel and power assets.

## Drivers

- Large fuel fire and additional asset damage in occupied Mariupol from recent strikes
- Missile and drone attacks on Odesa region ports and infrastructure
- Trend: conflict shifting toward deep mutual strikes on logistics and civilians
- Ongoing Russian attacks on Ukrainian urban centers like Zaporizhzhia and Odesa
