Ukraine has explicitly stated it is resuming strikes on Russian oil refineries, viewing them as the primary leverage for future peace negotiations. This escalation, confirmed by reports of fires at the Ryazan refinery and damage to Odesa energy infrastructure, signals a hardening of Kyiv's stance and a rejection of diplomatic off-ramps. For markets, this reintroduces a physical supply risk premium to crude oil, directly benefiting energy producers while threatening to reignite inflationary pressures globally.
