AFBytes briefing

Continued strikes on Russian energy assets could tighten global oil supplies and push gasoline prices higher for American drivers. Escalation also raises the risk of broader involvement that could affect U.S. defense spending and alliance commitments.

What to watch next

  • Track weekly Russian crude export figures and OPEC+ production statements for evidence of supply tightening.
