According to CoinMeta, on the 12th local time, Russian President Putin stated during a meeting with U.S. special envoy Wittkoff and President Trump's son-in-law Kushner that Russia has never closed the door to dialogue with Europe; it was Europe that took the initiative to interrupt the talks. Putin emphasized that Russia cannot accept foreign troops stationed in Ukraine, noting that such a scenario would pose a threat to Russia's national security. He added that foreign troops deployed in Ukraine would become legitimate targets for Russian military action. Putin also expressed hope that the United States and European countries would coordinate their efforts, and that European nations need to clarify their stance: whether they prefer peace or war.
