Ukraine-Russia war latest: Moscow strikes kill four in Odesa as Trump will allow Kyiv to make Patriot missiles
Context
Donald Trump is expected to meet with Vladimir Putin on Wednesday
What it means
The Trump–Putin meeting prospect is a genuinely new diplomatic development that has historically been associated with modest fading of safe-haven demand, while the Patriot manufacturing authorisation adds incremental upside for defense contractors with exposure to that system. Both signals are modest — markets have already priced significant uncertainty into this conflict, so marginal moves are likely to be small.
