May 18, 2025 0 Negative General

Kyiv, Ukraine: Ukrainian officials say Russia launched 120 missiles and drones overnight—its largest bombardment since January—hitting power stations near Kharkiv and Odesa. The escalation comes after Moscow dismissed a Turkey-brokered ceasefire outline that urged phased troop withdrawals. EU leaders condemn the strikes; Moscow says proposals ignored “new territorial realities.”

What this means for you:

•	Businesses with East-European supply chains should reassess rail and trucking routes.
•	Energy traders: Expect volatility in European electricity futures amid grid damage.
•	Humanitarian donors can channel aid to Ukrainian NGOs rebuilding critical infrastructure.
