Russian troops hope to destroy the Ukrainian energy system with rocket and drone attacks to force Ukraine to fight the humanitarian crisis in parallel with defense operations. In the next few weeks, Russian troops activate offensive operations as well as the intensity of missile attacks, as Ukraine is experiencing a sharp lack of logistics and waiting for help from the United States, which creates for Russians a "window" of opportunities.

This is stated in the report of the American Institute of War Study (ISW) of April 20, 2024. "The situation on the front is likely to continue to deteriorate during this time, especially if Russian troops are exacerbated by the attacks to take advantage of a limited window before the arrival of new assistance from the US.
