## Prediction

In the next 24 hours, Russia is likely to sustain or escalate missile and glide-bomb strikes on Kyiv and Donetsk oblast logistics hubs in response to Ukraine’s deep strikes on Russian energy assets. Expect additional attacks on warehouses, rail junctions, and power infrastructure supporting Ukrainian long-range operations. This will increase civilian casualties and strain Ukrainian air defense stockpiles, potentially forcing Kyiv to reprioritize away from front-line coverage. Confirmation would be new large salvos reported by Ukraine with similar target sets; denial would be an abrupt lull in Russian long-range strikes despite recent Ukrainian attacks and IEA warnings.

## Drivers

- Recent large-scale missile attack on Kyiv with infrastructure damage
- Continued Russian strikes on Ukrainian positions in Donetsk oblast
- IEA attribution of Russian output decline to Ukrainian drone strikes on energy infrastructure
- Trend of mutual deep-strike campaigns reshaping center of gravity
