The temporary halt in Russian strikes on Ukraine — Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, brokered by Donald Trump, could lead to a short-term positive sentiment for Ukraine, potentially easing humanitarian concerns and providing a window for peace talks. However, the ongoing attacks in other regions and the lack of a long-term resolution mean that market participants will remain cautious, with continued volatility in energy markets and defense stocks.
US President Donald Trump announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to a one-week halt in attacks on Ukraine — Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities due to extreme cold. This agreement, confirmed by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, aims to create favorable conditions for ongoing peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the potential pause but also warned of continued Russian strikes on energy infrastructure in other regions. Despite the temporary truce in Ukraine — Kyiv, Russia continued attacks elsewhere, killing six people in central and southern Ukraine and capturing villages in the Zaporizhzhia region. Ukraine is also working with SpaceX to address the use of its Starlink service by Russian drones. The European Union has expressed skepticism about Russia's commitment to peace talks, while a second round of trilateral negotiations involving the United States, Ukraine, and Russia is scheduled to take place in MGX.
