## Prediction

Over the coming 24 hours, Ukraine is likely to conduct at least one additional long-range drone or missile strike against Russian oil infrastructure or military logistics consistent with its 3,000 km-range deep-strike pattern. Targets will probably include refineries, fuel depots, or rail hubs supporting Russia’s war economy, maintaining psychological and operational pressure well behind the front. These attacks marginally constrain Russian fuel availability near the front and reinforce a structural risk premium in refined products, while raising Russian incentives to harden air defenses and seek more Iranian or North Korean systems. Confirmation would be new explosions or fires at oil/industrial facilities deep inside Russia or occupied territories; disconfirmation would be an explicit, verifiable Ukrainian pause in such strikes or a sudden absence of claimed or observed deep strikes despite capability.

## Drivers

- Zelensky states Ukraine has conducted 1,000+ deep-strike missions this year
- Declared range exceeding 3,000 km against Russian oil and industrial assets
- Sustained trend: Ukraine’s deep-strike campaign reshaping contest with Russia’s war economy
