## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, Russia is likely to follow its heavy morning salvos on Kyiv with further night-time missile and drone attacks against Kyiv and Odesa-area port assets. Ukraine’s air defenses will intercept many but not all, exhausting local stocks of interceptors and air-defense crews. Even limited physical damage will force repeated sheltering, testing civilian resilience and disrupting logistics through Black Sea ports. Confirmation would be additional large-scale air raid alerts and debris impacts; a sudden Russian pause paired with messaging about negotiations would contradict this.

## Drivers

- Reports of heavy Russian missile salvos on Kyiv
- Ongoing Russian campaign against Odesa shipping and port assets
- Emerging trend: rapid depletion and reconstitution of advanced air-defense stockpiles
