At least 35 people were killed and more than 130 injured yesterday after a series of Russian missile strikes on a military training center in western Ukraine. Less than 15 miles from the nearest border crossing point between Ukraine and Poland, it marks the deadliest westward attack during the two-week war (see map updates).
Finally, western intelligence suggests Russia may be considering the use of chemical weapons—an act generally considered a war crime under the Geneva Conventions.

Investors are shedding huge amounts of European stock-market exposure. Analysts at Bank of America said in a note last week that the war in Ukraine kicked off the largest ever outflow from European equities in a single week, with investors pulling a record $13.5 billion from the market.
That number more than doubles the previous week's record-setting outflows, according to funds tracker EPFR.
"Russia's assault of Ukraine, and the increasingly indiscriminate approach taken by Russia to sustain that assault, forced European-focused investors to weigh a range of possibilities ranging from recession in key markets to a broadening of the current conflict," EPFR said.

Four-dollar gasoline hits Oklahoma. The American Automobile Association reported Sunday that while the state’s average was only $3.86, at least six counties had averages above $4 including Coal County with the highest level at $4.13 a gallon for regular gasoline.
Oklahoma’s new average of $3.86 is 26 cents higher than one week ago and 71 cents more than a month ago. Last year at this time, Oklahoma’s average was $2.66.
As of Sunday, AAA reported the national average was $4.32 a gallon. It also determined through a nationwide poll that for many Americans, 59%, a national average price of $4 is enough to force them to make changes in their driving habits or lifestyle.

The Russian strikes could impede what has been a vital lifeline for Ukraine and bring the war perilously close to the country’s border with Poland. U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan warned of a full-fledged NATO response if a Russian strike were to hit member-state Poland, even in the event of an accidental or unintentional strike by Russia. ~WSJ
