01 THE MACHINE READ
WHY IT MATTERS.
Ukrainian refinery strikes cut Russian refining capacity, tightening refined product supply, but Putin's stated willingness to absorb the cost signals the conflict's energy dimension persists rather than resolves.
War's energy cost is now a stated GDP drag
CATALYST TO WATCH
Further strikes or a change in Russian targeting
MAIN RISK
Putin's calculus could shift toward de-escalation
