## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, continued Russian strikes and Ukrainian counter-actions will strip remaining credibility from Kyiv’s unilateral ceasefire, weakening the political space for Trump-linked mediators in Moscow and Kyiv. Ukrainian leadership will face domestic pressure to abandon any appearance of restraint in the face of ongoing attacks on cities like Dnipro and Kamianske. This will harden positions on both sides ahead of any 2027-focused talks and reduce European willingness to back U.S.-driven ad hoc diplomatic initiatives. Confirmation would be public Ukrainian statements walking back or ending the ceasefire and criticism of external envoys; denial would be a jointly observed pause or a Russian acknowledgment of the ceasefire framework.

## Drivers

- Ukraine’s four-day unilateral ceasefire already collapsing within hours
- Russian Iskander and KN-23 strikes on Dnipro and Kamianske post-ceasefire
- Reports of Trump-linked delegations shuttling between Moscow and Kyiv
