A durable energy ceasefire is unlikely without verifiable restraint, given the Oct 14 strikes directly contradicted the Oct 11 claim and European allies are pushing to increase rather than ease sanctions.","pulses":[{"band":"critical","change_24h":1,"change_7d":2,"id":"pls_ukraine_war_combat_strike_intensity","name":"Combat and Long-Range Strike Intensity","position":87},{"band":"critical","change_24h":2,"change_7d":3,"id":"pls_ukraine_war_energy_heating_collapse","name":"Energy and Heating System Collapse","position":87},{"band":"critical","change_24h":0,"change_7d":-2,"id":"pls_ukraine_war_war_economy_dependency_strain","name":"War Economy and External Dependency Strain","position":81},{"band":"severe","change_24h":0,"change_7d":0,"id":"pls_russia_nato_hybrid_grey_zone_pressure","name":"Hybrid and Grey-Zone Pressure","position":72},{"band":"severe","change_24h":0,"change_7d":0,"id":"pls_russia_nato_direct_military_confrontation","name":"Direct Military Confrontation","position":58},{"band":"severe","change_24h":0,"change_7d":0,"id":"pls_russia_nato_diplomatic_rupture","name":"Diplomatic Rupture","position":62},{"band":"severe","change_24h":0,"change_7d":0,"id":"pls_energy_security_energy_price_and_market_shock","name":"Energy Price and Market Shock","position":62},{"band":"critical","change_24h":0,"change_7d":0,"id":"pls_energy_security_global_hydrocarbon_supply_disruption","name":"Global Hydrocarbon Supply Disruption","position":77}],"saga":"Russia is waging war against Ukraine, which is defending its territory while striking Russian logistics and energy infrastructure.
