The euro climbed against its major counterparts in the European session on Monday amid risk appetite, as investors focused on diplomatic talks between Russia and Ukraine in an attempt to end the conflict.
In a video posted on Twitter, Russia’s Presidential adviser Maikhailo Podiliak said that his country has become “much more sensitive to the Ukrainian position” and has “started to talk constructively.”
The talks are aimed to secure evacuation corridors to allow civilians to leave, particularly from areas hit by Russian strikes such as the city of Mariupol.
Russian forces attacked a large military base near the border of Poland, firing more than 30 missiles at the facility.
The attack came after Russia’s warning that military aid convoys to Ukraine could be targeted.
