## Prediction

Within the next 24 hours, Russia is likely to launch a large Tu-95-based missile salvo focused on Ukrainian power grids and Black Sea port infrastructure, exploiting the ongoing capital-focused ceasefire to hit peripheral targets. The strikes will stress Ukrainian air defenses already tasked with covering cities and logistics hubs, increasing the probability of successful hits on substations and grain export facilities. A successful barrage will harden European support for Ukrainian air defense resupply and raise operational costs for Black Sea shipping, particularly near Odesa and Mykolaiv. Confirmation would be radar/satellite evidence of multiple Tu-95 launches and widespread air-raid alerts across southern and eastern Ukraine; postponement tied to weather or political signaling from Moscow would weaken this forecast.

## Drivers

- Intelligence reports of Tu-95 redeployment and arming for large strike
- Ongoing Russian strikes despite limited capital ceasefire
- Recent campaign of strikes on Ukrainian ports and Ukraine–Romania border crossings
- Emerging trend of Russia intensifying pressure outside capital ceasefire zones
