## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, both Russia and Ukraine will conduct additional deep strikes on each other’s critical infrastructure—Ukraine using drones against Russian energy, logistics, and radar nodes, and Russia using missiles and glide bombs against Ukrainian rail, power, and fuel assets. Frontline fuel shortages and rail disruptions in Ukraine will worsen locally, while Crimea and Russian border regions will see renewed air-defense activations and sporadic evacuations. This tit-for-tat will harden both sides’ targeting doctrines against civilian-adjacent infrastructure and modestly increase European concern about spillover to cross-border energy flows. Evidence would include new confirmed attacks on substations, depots, or locomotives and nationwide air-raid alerts; an abrupt mutual lull in strikes would run counter to this forecast.

## Drivers

- Recent Ukrainian drone strikes on Crimea energy, gas and a 220 kV substation
- Russian Geran-2 strikes on locomotives and rail, plus power plant hits in Ukraine
- Emerging trend of mutual deep-strike escalation over critical infrastructure
