## Prediction

In the next 24 hours, Russia is likely to launch additional missile and drone salvos against Ukrainian rear logistics hubs and energy nodes, building on strikes in Odesa, Sumy, and central-eastern oblasts. Moscow’s strategy of normalizing deep-rear pressure is designed to exhaust Ukrainian air defenses and constrain troop movements near the front. Continued strikes will worsen civilian and military mobility and test NATO’s tolerance as attacks creep close to borders. Confirmation would be renewed missile alerts and damage reports in Odesa, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk or rail junctions; denial would be an unusual 24‑hour lull combined with observable Russian asset repositioning away from strike roles.

## Drivers

- Recent missile strikes in Odesa, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, and near Krasnokutsk
- Theater assessment: Russia normalizes deep drone and missile pressure on Ukraine’s rear
- Reports of increased Dan‑T missile usage
- Ongoing Russian intent to degrade Ukrainian logistics and morale
