## Prediction

Over the next 7 days, Russia is likely to maintain a sustained tempo of deep-strike operations against Kyiv’s dual-use urban-industrial network, though likely at varying intensity, to erode Ukraine’s command, defense industry, and civil resilience. The recent use of advanced systems (Oreshnik IRBM, Kinzhal, possible Zircon) suggests a deliberate transition to a terror-resilient, multi-vector campaign rather than sporadic attacks. Targets will likely include energy nodes, transport hubs, communications, and industrial sites embedded in civilian areas to complicate defense and generate psychological impact. Munitions constraints and the need to preserve strategic reserves may force intervals between major salvos, but the overall campaign pattern will persist.

## Drivers

- Emerging trend: 'Russia transitions to terror-resilient deep strike campaign against Kyiv’s dual-use core'
- Multiple reports of large-scale, multi-vector strikes and use of top-tier missile systems
- Russian narrative framing of hits on 'command, air bases and defense industry sites'
- Historical Russian strategy of sustained pressure on Ukrainian energy and urban systems
