## Prediction

Within 30 days, mutual Ukrainian and Russian deep‑strike operations are likely to fully normalize oil refineries, chemical plants, power infrastructure, and logistics hubs far from the front as standard wartime targets. Russia will continue hitting Ukrainian cities’ power, fuel, and digital infrastructure, while Ukraine will persist with strikes on Russian refineries, chemical complexes, and industrial logistics like Ozon hubs. This will blur the line between military and civilian economic targets, increase cumulative environmental and industrial‑accident risk, and harden attitudes against compromise in both societies. Confirmation would be sustained, reciprocal attacks on such assets without significant international pushback or successful diplomatic deterrence; disconfirmation would involve a tacit or explicit mutual restraint on certain categories of critical infrastructure.

## Drivers

- Recent Ukrainian strikes on Saratov refinery, Azot Berezniki, and Volgograd industrial sites
- Russian campaign against Kyiv’s data centers, fuel depots, and warehouses
- Emerging trend: dual deep‑strike campaigns redefining battlespace
