Satellite Evidence▸What to Watch

What Could Happen If...
- ▸If Ukrainian drone attacks on Belgorod, Sevastopol, and Yeysk continue to injure Russian civilians or damage high-profile sites Russian forces may step up long-range strikes on Ukrainian cities, increasing risks for residents in regions like Kyiv Oblast.
