Possible scenario
Emergency Air Defense
40% Chance
The killing of students on a Kyiv university campus creates urgent political pressure in Washington, Berlin, The Hague and Warsaw to replenish Ukraine's depleted air defenses. This is the most likely path because the timeline already points to Kyiv's exposure after Patriot interceptor exhaustion, and Western governments can respond faster with munitions than with a broader change in war strategy.
