The news sites, “Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to make a plea to Congress for more aid to defend his country,” as a reason.
Key quotes

The news adds to the already strained relations between the US and Russia and weighs on the market sentiment, which in turn pushes S&P 500 Futures to print mild losses despite Wall Street’s upbeat closing. That said, the US stock futures drop 0.15% intraday at the latest.
