## Prediction

Over the next 7 days, sustained Russian strikes on infrastructure (including humanitarian warehouses) and continued fighting near Starobilsk and Donetsk are likely to trigger further internal displacement toward central and western Ukraine. Targeting of rail and energy nodes will disrupt civilian supply chains, compounding humanitarian needs in frontline-adjacent regions. Aid agencies will need to adapt logistics routes and may face higher physical risk, as evidenced by the hit on the UNHCR warehouse. Contrarian scenario: no major new offensive is launched and winterization/aid preparations stabilize population movements.

## Drivers

- Recent Russian missile strike on UNHCR warehouse in Dnipro
- Multiple Ukrainian and Russian strikes around Starobilsk and M14 supply line
- Daily briefs noting mounting civilian evacuations in Ukraine
