## Prediction

In the coming week, continued Russian strikes on Ukrainian urban centers and infrastructure will lead to rolling disruptions in electricity, heating (where still relevant), water supply, and rail services, particularly in eastern and northern regions. Civilian populations will increasingly rely on backup generators, local volunteer networks, and humanitarian organizations to cover gaps in essential services. Health outcomes will deteriorate for vulnerable groups due to delayed care, medicine shortages, and stress-related conditions. Internal displacement patterns will remain fluid as some residents temporarily relocate from heavily targeted cities to safer western regions.

## Drivers

- Recent mass attacks on Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Poltava, and rail infrastructure
- EUCOM assessment of sustained high-intensity strike activity
- Sustained deep-strike trend into rear areas and infrastructure
