## Prediction

Over the next seven days, Russia is likely to institutionalize a pattern of at least two large-scale Geran and missile barrages per week focused on power plants, refineries, and warehouses in Kyiv, Kremenchuk, Mykolaiv, and Odesa. This campaign will steadily wear down Ukraine’s air-defense stocks and repair capacity, forcing Kyiv to choose between protecting urban populations and frontline logistics. As cumulative damage accumulates, the probability of prolonged, region-wide power outages and fuel shortages will increase, with ripple effects on industrial output and military mobility. Confirmation would be repeated multi-axis strikes on these nodes with visible grid degradation; denial would be a marked reduction in strike tempo, possibly due to Russian stockpile or political constraints.

## Drivers

- Multiple reports of sustained Geran strikes on energy hubs over several consecutive days
- Emerging trends highlighting Russia’s pivot to a sustained deep-strike campaign on logistics and urban periphery
- Ukrainian acknowledgment of air-defense attrition and strain
