The attack killed 27 people and spurred Western calls for stricter measures against Moscow as NATO prepares for a critical meeting.
Russia conducted one of its largest airstrikes on Kyiv this year, killing at least 27 people and wounding scores more. The July 2 assault targeted civilian infrastructure and residential areas, causing widespread fires and damage across multiple districts.
The scale of the attack has intensified pressure on Western governments to adopt tougher military and economic responses. Lawmakers in the U.S. and Europe are debating additional aid to Ukraine as the NATO summit approaches, with some advocating for accelerated weapons deliveries.
Markets remain watchful for potential escalation in sanctions or military support, which could heighten geopolitical risks in energy and defense sectors.
