Vladimir Putin has issued a stark warning to European nations, declaring that Russia is fully prepared for war if Europe initiates hostilities, while also accusing European powers of sabotaging a U.S.–led peace initiative on Ukraine. Meanwhile, five-hour talks in Moscow between a U.S. delegation (including Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner) and the Kremlin ended without substantive progress, especially on territorial and military constraints for Ukraine. The combination of aggressive rhetoric and diplomatic stalemate raises fears of prolonged conflict and regional escalation.
