Ukraine Covid Cases

2022 could be defined as the year of freedom as Covid cases stooped to its lowest and restrictions eased. But political instability resonated in hardships and humanitarian sufferings across the world.

The World Health Organisation expects a rise in COVID-19 in Ukraine to peak in October, possibly bringing hospitals close to their capacity threshold.

Global crude markets have been whiplashed since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, with Brent and US futures trading above $100 for most of that duration, but benchmark crude prices fell in the latest trading week.

The wild gyrations in crude markets continued on Tuesday, with Brent oil prices trading nearly 3 per cent higher and back up above $100 after briefly languishing below that level in the previous session.

Crude markets started the week on a feeble note following the second straight weekly decline, pressured by China lockdowns and weighed by a surplus boost after announced plans to release a record volume of crude and oil products from strategic stocks.

Crude oil prices rebounded and rose on Tuesday in a volatile trading session, even as Ukraine and Russia headed for peace talks and demand concerns remain as China shut down its financial hub in Shanghai to curb the surge in coronavirus cases.

Crude oil prices extended their decline and fell to a two-week low early on Tuesday on hopes of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine and driven by expectations of a fall in demand from China as the country battles a surge in the Omicron variant of the coronavirus cases.

Three intensive care patients and a ward doctor died overnight in a fire a hospital treating coronavirus cases in Zaporizhzhya, southeastern Ukraine, the region's governor said on Thursday.
