Ukraine has initiated a focused military campaign against Russian oil infrastructure, lasting 40 days since June 25, 2026. This effort, led by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, aims to weaken Russia’s logistics capabilities amid the ongoing conflict.

The operation is primarily executed by the Security Service of Ukraine, targeting vital oil refineries and relay stations, reaching areas as far as Ufa and Belarus. Despite the significant military focus, Russia has not yet responded to pressures for peace negotiations and continues to conduct large-scale attacks on Ukraine.

Market analysts indicate that the campaign may influence territorial control dynamics, particularly in occupied Crimea, where a state of emergency has been declared. As Ukraine aims to disrupt Russian military logistics, the conflict may shape future military strategies and negotiation scenarios.

Recent assessments suggest that these military efforts could decrease the probability of Russia making territorial gains in Sloviansk by year-end. Observers are now closely monitoring potential shifts in Russian military strategies or diplomatic actions that might break the current stalemate.

Further developments, including NATO's support for Ukraine or new international sanctions against Russia, could significantly affect market perceptions.
