## Prediction

Russia is likely to follow its recent large-scale attacks on Kyiv and Sumy with renewed strikes on Ukrainian fuel depots and digital infrastructure within 24 hours. The aim is to exploit momentum against refineries, logistics hubs, and communications spines ahead of winter. Additional salvos will strain Ukrainian air defenses, slow military movement, and complicate civil governance, especially if internet and rail nodes are repeatedly hit. Confirmatory indicators include fresh Geran/KAB waves against fuel, telecom hubs, or power nodes; a pause with no strategic-target reporting would undercut this forecast.

## Drivers

- Recent Geran drone and KAB strikes causing significant damage and internet outages in Kyiv and Sumy
- Sustained trend of Russian long-range fires toward fuel, logistics and urban peripheries
- Zelensky’s emphasis on energy targets and air defense at the UN suggesting Russian countercoercion
