## Prediction

Russia is likely to launch at least one additional large or medium-scale missile–drone attack on Ukrainian urban centers within the next 24 hours, maintaining pressure after the recent nationwide barrage. Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Dnipro remain primary targets, with increased risk to cultural and energy-related infrastructure. This will strain Ukrainian air defenses, force further ammunition expenditure, and raise Western urgency on air defense resupply and sanctions. Confirmation would be new multi-axis launches using mixed missile and Geran-2/ Shahed drone packages; denial would be a complete absence of major Russian long-range strikes over the period.

## Drivers

- Recent mass Russia-wide strike campaign with Zircon and Geran-2 use
- Emerging trend: Russia’s shift to terror-at-scale missile raids on Ukrainian urban system
- Russia’s political signaling after Lavra hit and double-tap strikes on rescuers
- No indications of de-escalation from Russian leadership or command
