## Prediction

Within 24 hours, Russian strikes will likely cause further civilian casualties and infrastructure damage in Ukrainian towns such as Sumy, Druzhkivka, and other frontline or near-frontline areas. Prior attacks on a kindergarten guard and a residential house highlight continued targeting or impact on civilian locations. Emergency services will remain stretched, and ad hoc evacuations may occur, but no large new displacement wave is expected in this short window.

## Drivers

- Recent reports of Russian attacks killing civilians in Sumy and guided bomb attack on Druzhkivka
- High-level assessment of 'massive Russian violations of ceasefire' across Ukraine
- Trend of persistent shelling and airstrikes on civilian-inhabited areas
- Limited success of ceasefire mechanisms around symbolic dates
