## Prediction

Within 24 hours, Ukraine is likely to launch additional long-range drone strikes on Russian energy, logistics, or military-industrial facilities beyond front-line regions, building on the NS-Oil Ulyanovsk and Voronezh attacks. These operations aim to erode Russia’s sustainment base, impose domestic psychological costs, and demonstrate Kyiv’s expanded reach under its new commander. Russia will respond with intensified air-defense activity and potentially further large-scale strikes on Ukrainian cities and ports. Confirmation would be fresh reported explosions at Russian refineries, depots, or rail hubs; an unexpected Ukrainian political decision to limit cross-border attacks under Western pressure would weaken this forecast.

## Drivers

- Confirmed Ukrainian drone strike on NS-Oil liquefied gas facility deep in Ulyanovsk
- Reported Ukrainian drone attacks in Voronezh, occupied Luhansk, and Yalta
- Public statement by Ukraine’s new commander-in-chief pledging expanded operations inside Russia
- Trend of increasing Ukrainian long-range drone capability and employment
