Reinsurers have introduced an exclusion clause on Russia and Ukraine business at the 1 January renewals forcing protection and indemnity insurers to limit their fixed premium war risk cover.

TradeWinds earlier reported how reinsurers are under pressure to recover losses from Hurricane Ian and the Ukraine conflict.
