## Prediction

Over the next seven days, both Ukraine and Russia are likely to intensify systematic drone and missile campaigns against each other’s refinery, fuel storage, and critical rail junctions, pushing the conflict further into a deep rear contest. Russia will continue to strike Ukrainian rail hubs and fuel depots to constrain mobility, while Ukraine will target Russian refineries and drone bases to erode logistical resilience. This will increase infrastructure losses and civilian collateral damage while compounding global diesel tightness and regional rail freight volatility. Confirmation would be multiple additional refineries or major depots hit in each country; denial would be an unexpected mutual tacit restraint or external diplomatic pressure leading to reduced deep-strike operations.

## Drivers

- Emerging trend of mutual drone and missile escalation turning war into deep rear contest
- Recent Ukrainian strikes on Slavyansk refinery and Russian drone bases
- Russian mass drone attacks on fuel stations, rail depots, and ports across Ukraine
