Ukraine has attacked a sixth Russian crude-processing plant in the past week, forcing a major refinery to halt operations and disrupting approximately half of Russia's refining capacity. While global crude supply remains intact, the shortage of refined products and the potential for export disruptions are driving a supply shock dynamic. This environment is structurally bullish for integrated energy majors with global refining arms and bearish for airlines and shipping companies facing higher fuel costs and logistical friction.
