## Prediction

Over the next 30 days, both Ukraine and Russia are likely to normalize routine long-range drone and missile strikes on each other’s cities, energy infrastructure, and logistics hubs, entrenching a strategic bombing pattern that blurs frontline and rear. Russia will persist in attacking Ukrainian urban centers and power grids, while Ukraine will increasingly target Russian refineries, depots, and transportation nodes. This dynamic increases civilian risk, erodes economic capacity on both sides, and complicates any future negotiation environment. Confirmation would be sustained weekly cycles of such strikes without major policy reversals; external pressure resulting in a mutual restraint agreement on civilian energy targets would disrupt this pattern.

## Drivers

- Sustained cross-border drone warfare and deep strikes by both sides
- Recent Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, including near Kazan
- Russian focus on Ukrainian logistics and urban resilience
- Lack of effective international constraints on long-range strike use
