Russia and Ukraine trade heaviest strikes in months, raising escalation fears

The intensified fighting is reviving concerns about possible disruption to oil supplies as escalation risks grow.

CNBC also noted that a NATO military chief warned Moscow that an attack on the Baltics could lead to major losses, underscoring the risk that the conflict could widen.
