Markets were skeptical of Russia’s promise to cut military operations around the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv yesterday.
In addition to continuing reports of Russian ground attacks, the Russian Ministry of Defense said it would regroup Russian forces deployed in Kyiv and other places to complete the “liberation operation” in Donbas, eastern Ukraine.
Markets rose on hopes for a peace deal after the fifth round of talks between Russia and Ukraine the day before.
In the energy market, oil prices rose again as the prospect of supply shortfalls and new western sanctions on Russia grew.
