## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, there will be localized disruptions in fuel supply and pricing in the Moscow region due to fires and shutdowns at the Moscow refinery and Solnechnogorskaya oil loading station. Authorities will prioritize rapid rerouting via alternative depots and pipeline segments, but some temporary shortages and queuing at filling stations in affected districts are likely. Wholesale price pressures for gasoline and diesel in western Russia will begin to appear, although national-level shortages will be avoided initially. The Kremlin will publicly downplay the impact to project resilience.

## Drivers

- Confirmed large fires and damage at Moscow refinery and Solnechnogorskaya/Transneft hub
- Russia’s heavy reliance on centralized pipeline nodes and limited redundancy in some areas
- Pattern of localized fuel disruptions after previous Ukrainian attacks on refineries
