Russia has carried out fresh missile and drone attacks on Ukraine, with reports of civilian casualties and electricity disruptions across multiple regions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said early-warning information from allies about incoming Russian missile attacks had resumed following discussions with US officials.z
The developments come as diplomatic efforts continue. US envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to hold discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin, following talks involving Ukrainian and European representatives. Disagreements over security guarantees, military assistance and the terms of a potential settlement continue to complicate the process.
The conflict remains a concern for global markets because prolonged fighting can affect energy infrastructure, defence spending, trade routes and investor confidence. Any escalation involving energy facilities or transport infrastructure could add to commodity-price volatility, although the direct market impact will depend on the scale and duration of disruptions.
