People familiar with the matter said the UAE is considering a third oil export pipeline to route crude outside the Strait of Hormuz to substantially reduce reliance on the waterway. The sources said ADNOC is assessing a feasibility study for a line from the UAE's west coast to the east‑coast port of Fujairah, which could be opened to third‑party use and would complement existing pipelines and another line due to enter service next year, improving the UAE’s ability to supply customers if Hormuz shipments are disrupted. The plan is not final and route and other details may change; some sources said ADNOC has briefed certain Asian customers. An ADNOC spokesman told Bloomberg the report is not true and is pure speculation.

The Russian Defence Ministry said on Wednesday its forces struck two power plants in Ukraine’s Kyiv and Zhytomyr regions. Russia has been striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure almost daily as temperatures fall. The strikes also hit a cargo ship off Odesa. The previous day’s missile and drone attacks caused widespread outages. The attacks occurred while U.S.-mediated peace talks were due to resume in a week. Ukraine’s emergency services and local officials reported additional strikes in Poltava, Dnipro, Kirovohrad and Rivne regions and in Kyiv.
