Ukraine-Russia war latest: Putin hits Kyiv with ballistic missiles hours after Zelensky said attack ‘imminent’
Context
Deadly attack comes hours after White House confirms Zelensky-Trump meeting at Nato summit in Turkey
What it means
A ballistic missile strike directly on Kyiv represents a tactical escalation beyond the routine conflict grind already reflected in prior signals. Historically, deliberate strikes on capital cities have been associated with a short-term incremental safe-haven bid in gold and a modest lift in defense stocks — though much of the baseline move in both assets was already called in the prior signal and likely partially priced in.
