## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, ongoing Russian mass drone and missile attacks are likely to trigger further rolling blackouts and localized water and heating disruptions in multiple Ukrainian urban centers. Civilian casualties will mount incrementally, and emergency services will face additional strain, particularly in regions already hit repeatedly over the past week. This will increase internal displacement from frontline and high‑risk cities to relatively safer western areas, amplifying pressure on municipal services there. Confirmation would be fresh Ukrainian grid operator advisories and UN/OCHA updates on new displacement surges; denial would be a sudden pause in Russian strikes paired with stable power supply reporting.

## Drivers

- Zelensky’s report of extremely high weekly strike volumes against Ukraine
- Russian pattern of targeting energy and critical infrastructure
- Sustained long‑range strike phase identified in emerging trends
