Explosion in Kyiv as Russian missiles strike across Ukraine – video

Russian missiles have struck several Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Pryluky, and Kremenchuk, overnight on Tuesday. This escalation in violence has significant implications for global markets, particularly those with exposure to the Ukrainian economy. The ongoing conflict has already disrupted trade and investment in the region, and further escalation could lead to increased volatility in commodities markets, such as oil and gas.

Why it matters

Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian cities have increased tensions and raised concerns about the conflict's escalation. This could lead to a decrease in investor sentiment and a rise in safe-haven assets.
