## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, continued or follow-on Russian drone and missile activity near southern Ukraine’s export crossings will impede both commercial and humanitarian movements, particularly around Reni, Tabaky, and the Vinohradivka–Vulcănești route. Temporary closures and fear of renewed strikes will slow aid convoys, medical supply shipments, and civilian evacuations, especially in border-adjacent rural communities. This will deepen local shortages and increase reliance on more distant, less efficient corridors. Confirmation would be additional crossing closures, NGO rerouting notices, or UN statements about disrupted access; refutation would be a rapid resumption of normal crossing operations without further attacks.

## Drivers

- Reports of Russian drones hitting export crossings and forcing closures
- Pattern of strikes on Ukrainian checkpoints and southern export routes
- Ex-minister’s warning that Ukraine is 'slowly losing' and under pressure
