Deadly Russian missile and drone attack on Ukrainian capital kills at least 22
What it means
A major Russian strike on Kyiv represents a meaningful escalation in conflict intensity, which has historically been associated with a short-term safe-haven bid into gold and gains in defense stocks on rising weapons-demand expectations. Ukraine is not a significant oil transit route, so the crude channel is weak here; the prior oil-escalation priors do not apply directly to this event.
