## Prediction

Over the next week, sustained Russian strikes on Kyiv and Donetsk oblast will further degrade power, heating, and industrial infrastructure, worsening civilian living conditions and disrupting local economies. Targeting of warehouses and logistics nodes will hamper humanitarian delivery and reconstruction efforts in eastern Ukraine, forcing aid agencies to reroute and store supplies further from the front. This will exacerbate winter preparedness challenges and could trigger new internal displacement from heavily hit districts. Confirmation would be repeated blackouts, utility disruptions, and reported damage to warehouses and industrial sites; denial would be a notable reduction in Russian long-range strikes or effective Ukrainian interception drastically limiting damage.

## Drivers

- Recent large-scale missile attack on Kyiv, causing multiple fires
- Continued Russian strikes on positions in Donetsk region
- Trend of mutual deep-strike campaigns targeting energy and logistics
- Ukraine’s reliance on vulnerable grid and industrial nodes near conflict zones
