Russia hits Kyiv with ballistic missiles
Context
Russia has launched one of its largest ballistic missile attacks of the conflict in Ukraine. At least one person was killed and 16 others were injured after around two dozen ballistic missiles struck Kyiv overnight. Witnesses described charred apartment buildings with windows blown out, mangled debris, and overturned cars scattered across the city. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said six districts of the capital were hit. France 24 correspondent Gulliver Cragg reports from Kyiv.
What it means
Large Russian missile strikes on Kyiv are horrific but, in market terms, represent a continuation of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict that markets have long since priced in. There is no genuinely new channel opened here — no novel supply disruption, no new actor, no meaningful escalation beyond what has already been reflected in prior signals and current asset prices.
