Today: Nico Lange on the Ukraine war | Bonds: Europe is in a better position than the USA

The war in Ukraine has intensified with both sides increasing airstrikes over the past few weeks. Russia attacked Kyiv with ballistic missiles and Ukraine hit Moscow with hundreds of drones, resulting in reported casualties on both sides. Logistical centers of online retailers, including Wildberries, have also been targeted by both Ukraine and Russia.
