## Prediction

Within 7 days, Ukraine is likely to expand localized offensive operations around Ternuvata in Zaporizhzhia, seeking to exploit the recent recapture to improve artillery positions and threaten Russian supply lines. Rather than a broad front breakthrough, expect a series of tactical assaults and drone-supported advances to nibble at Russian defensive belts. This will strain Russian local reserves and potentially force redeployments from other sectors. Confirmation would be Ukrainian advances on nearby villages and Russian complaints about intensified assaults in the sector; disconfirmation would be a stagnation of the frontline with no further Ukrainian gains reported in Zaporizhzhia.

## Drivers

- Reports of Ukrainians recapturing Ternuvata in Zaporizhzhia
- Ukraine’s emerging reliance on drones and deep strikes to create local opportunities
- Kremlin’s stretched manpower and logistics requiring defense overextension
- Ukraine’s shift toward contract-based mobilization enabling targeted offensive pushes
