·South China Morning Post·Impact 4/5 · High

A truce in the Ukraine war, specifically in the Kherson region, is set to end after neither side announced an extension. This truce, brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump, was in place since Tuesday and allowed a humanitarian mission to reach the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky. The end of the truce may lead to renewed fighting in the region, which could have significant implications for the economy and markets, particularly those with exposure to Ukraine or Russia.
