## Prediction

Over 30 days, sustained Russian deep strikes and positional fighting, combined with Ukraine’s long-war mobilization, are likely to entrench a chronic humanitarian crisis marked by persistent displacement, infrastructure degradation, and overstretched social services. Many civilians will face repeated relocations, unstable access to electricity and water, and deteriorating health and mental health outcomes. International donors will confront fatigue and competing crises, forcing trade-offs in funding priorities. Confirmation would be rising long-term IDP counts, expanded UN appeals, and more frequent blackouts in contested regions; denial would require either a major de-escalation in strikes or a substantial new wave of international assistance that stabilizes conditions.

## Drivers

- Escalating Russian urban and cultural terror campaign
- Ukraine’s move toward institutionalized long-war force structures
- Ongoing attacks on energy and civil infrastructure
- EU’s focus on long-term integration rather than near-term war-ending leverage
