Within 48 hours, repeated attacks on Kyiv’s energy infrastructure are likely as Russia exploits any identified vulnerabilities from prior strikes. Even if defenses intercept many projectiles, the volume of fire and criticality of targets sustain an extremely high risk level.

## Drivers

- Russian effort to cause rolling blackouts and pressure national leadership
- Adaptive targeting based on battle damage assessment from prior strikes

## Indicators

- Shifts in air-defense asset deployments around Kyiv and key substations
- Russian official rhetoric framing continued attacks as ‘necessary escalation’
