Ukraine +80.39%
Ukraine's stock market index (PFTS) skyrocketed more than 80 percent in 2018, according to data sourced from Refinitv, comfortably becoming the top performer worldwide.

This rise came despite Ukraine's request for help from its international partners at the EU and NATO after Russia seized three naval vessels and 23 crew members in late November.

The incident happened in the Kerch Strait, a channel that separates the Sea of Azov and Black Sea, to the south of Ukraine and Russia.
