## Prediction

Within 24 hours, Ukraine is likely to attempt at least one additional drone or missile strike against Russian energy or logistics infrastructure, possibly a refinery, fuel depot, or port facility. The recent successful hits on Ilsky and Syzran refineries will encourage continued economic warfare to strain Russian fuel supply and export revenue. Russia will respond with intensified air defense and potential retaliatory salvos against Ukrainian energy assets. Confirmation would be claimed or geolocated new strikes on Russian refineries or fuel hubs; disconfirmation would be a pause paired with Ukrainian messaging emphasizing stockpile conservation.

## Drivers

- Confirmed Ukrainian strikes on Ilsky and Syzran refineries with sustained fires
- Sustained trend of mutual deep-strike targeting of energy infrastructure
- Escalation trend in Ukrainian drone use against Russian rear areas
