## Prediction

Over 30 days, Ukraine is likely to intensify deep strikes on Russian industrial and energy targets while Russia maintains or escalates missile attacks on Ukrainian power and logistics nodes, solidifying a pattern of mutual economic warfare. Both sides will adapt by dispersing critical production, hardening infrastructure, and drawing more heavily on external partners—Ukraine from NATO, Russia from Iran and North Korea—for munitions and manpower. This entrenched dynamic will lock both states into a high-intensity war economy posture, with reduced prospects for near-term negotiations and greater systemic strain on their societies. Confirmation would be continued Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries and depots plus sustained Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy and rail; denial would require either a negotiated pause or serious supply exhaustion curbing long-range strike operations.

## Drivers

- Emerging trend of Ukraine’s deep-strike and audit campaign targeting Russia’s industrial backbone
- Russian use of North Korean missiles and foreign manpower to sustain operations
- Recent Russian focus on Ukrainian power plants and logistics terminals
