European shares jumped on Monday after Ukrainian forces advanced rapidly in Kharkiv province, in Russia's worst setback since abandoning its Kyiv push in March, while the euro extended its European Central Bank-inspired gains from last week. On Saturday, Moscow abandoned its main bastion in northeastern Ukraine, in a sudden collapse of one of the war's principal frontlines after Ukrainian forces made a rapid advance.
