## Prediction

Over the next seven days, intensified mutual targeting of refineries, logistics hubs, and urban infrastructure will significantly worsen civilian access to fuel, heating, and transport in parts of both Russia and Ukraine. In Ukraine, renewed Russian missile barrages on Kyiv and rail networks will hamper internal displacement and humanitarian supply lines. In Russia, recurring Ukrainian attacks on refineries and logistics facilities will trigger local shortages, rationing, or sharp regional price spikes that hit lower-income populations hardest. Confirmation would be official restrictions on fuel sales, outage reports, or public protests over shortages; denial would be evidence of stable retail fuel availability and uninterrupted transport services in affected areas.

## Drivers

- Emerging trend: Ukraine-Russia conflict shifting to deep economic infrastructure warfare
- Repeated Ukrainian drone hits on Yaroslavl refinery and Russian logistics centers
- Russian mass Iskander barrages on Kyiv and strikes on Ukrainian logistics routes to Crimea
