The Russian stock market started the week with a new decline, falling to its lowest level in the last six months. The MOEX index, which includes about 40 of the largest Russian companies, ended Monday’s session down 1.05%, at 2,598.2 points. During the session, the index even fell to 2,759.8 points — the lowest level since November last year.
“The decline was triggered by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ statements regarding successive strikes on decision-making centers and command points in Ukraine, after which the market abruptly accelerated its fall,” declared Dmitri Lozovoi, analyst at Finam company.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has advised foreign citizens to leave Kiev, adding that Russia’s “cup of patience” has “filled up”.
At the close of transactions, Rosneft shares fell by 2.6%, reaching their lowest level since February. Gazprom lost 0.8% and is trading at its lowest levels since November 2025. Also, Novatek shares fell to a six-month low, recording a drop of 3.9%.
