What it means

Zelensky's comments highlight a stalemate in negotiations regarding territorial compromises, emphasizing that Ukraine won't target Russian energy infrastructure only if Russia reciprocates. This potential for de-escalation could affect market sentiment, particularly in energy and safe-haven assets, though significant tensions remain, as there is no formal ceasefire on energy infrastructure. Investors should remain cautious, as the lack of resolution may keep volatility elevated.
