Political Violence & WarEnergyPolitical Risk

Russia is reportedly working to import aviation fuel from Japan as Ukrainian drone and missile strikes on Russian oil refineries constrain domestic supply. The sourcing scheme reportedly routes fuel through third countries. No damage inventory or insured loss figures are provided in the reporting, and any affected Russian refining assets sit in a sanctioned jurisdiction with no meaningful international insurance market interest.

Part of:Russia-Ukraine War – Ongoing Escalation (2026)(584 related events)

Impact verdict

Low impact. Loss pathway: Ukrainian strikes are degrading Russian refining capacity, which could in principle trigger energy and political risk claims. Evidence: No insured loss figure, no damage inventory, and no confirmed international market response are reported; the affected assets are Russian refineries operating under sanctions where international insurers typically hold no meaningful cover. Limit: Absent evidence of live international cover or a stated insured loss, expected insured market loss remains well below USD 100m.
