Global stocks fell and investors fled to safe-haven assets amid escalating tensions between the world's two largest nuclear powers: Russia and the U.S. The pan-Europea Stoxx 600 stock index was down almost 1% at 12:23 p.m. time, hitting 498.56 — its lowest level since August .

Russia has now widely expanded the circumstances under which it will consider nuclear retaliation to include "a large-scale launch of enemy aircraft, missiles, and drones targeting Russian territory".
