## Prediction

Within seven days, Russia is likely to answer Ukraine’s expanded campaign against Russian oil assets with a renewed surge of missile and drone attacks on Ukraine’s power generation and transmission infrastructure. Facilities operated by DTEK and key grid nodes already hit in Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa regions will face repeated targeting, driving rolling blackouts and further damaging industrial output. The mutual deep-strike pattern will entrench both sides’ total-war economic posture and trigger additional air defense support discussions within NATO. Confirmation would be another wave of large-scale Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy assets and public Russian framing linking them to oil facility attacks; denial would be an unexpected Russian restraint combined with diplomatic de-escalation rhetoric.

## Drivers

- Confirmed Ukrainian strikes on multiple Russian oil facilities and logistics nodes
- Recent Russian attacks on DTEK energy sites and bridges such as Zatoka
- Emerging trend of sustained mutual deep-strike campaigns on energy and logistics
