## Prediction

Within the next 24 hours, Russian forces will continue widespread air and artillery attacks across Ukrainian front sectors, while Ukraine maintains selective deep strikes and localized counter-assaults. Recent Russian violations around symbolic dates indicate that ceasefire rhetoric will not translate into meaningful reduction in fire. Ukrainian drones and missiles will likely target Russian military infrastructure in occupied territories such as Crimea and Zaporizhzhia, with occasional standoff strikes across the border. Tactical control lines will shift marginally, but no decisive breakthrough is expected in this time frame.

## Drivers

- Daily brief noting 'massive' and 'high' Russian ceasefire violations across Ukraine
- Emerging trend of erosion of ceasefire norms and normalization of high-tempo drone warfare
- Recent Ukrainian deep strikes against Crimea rail and Russian radar in Zaporizhzhia
- Continued ground assaults listed along Donetsk and Sumy directions
