Ukrainian forces have retaken 26 settlements and more than 600 square kilometers in southeastern Ukraine, advancing across the Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions. The gains have moved prediction-market pricing on the wider conflict, even as Russia keeps up offensive operations elsewhere in the east and south.
Ukrainian forces have retaken 26 settlements and more than 600 square kilometers in southeastern Ukraine, according to Euronews. The advances span the Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions, where Kyiv has been regaining ground after sustained Russian pressure.
The operation reflects a tactical shift in the conflict, pointing to a strengthened Ukrainian position on the battlefield. Russian forces, however, continue offensive efforts in other parts of eastern and southern Ukraine.
Traders have moved on the news. Pricing now implies a decreased likelihood of Russian forces entering Sloviansk, and support for a Ukrainian recapture of Crimea has increased alongside the recent advances, a shift market participants are watching for its effect on market sentiment around the conflict.
