What Happened
Russian forces seized eight Ukrainian settlements and conducted 14 coordinated group strikes on Ukrainian military infrastructure over one week (ending August 14, 2026). Russian gains continue despite Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian energy and logistics infrastructure.
How This Reaches Markets
