Over the past 48 hours, the Russia-Ukraine situation has seen the most significant diplomatic breakthrough since the conflict began:
📌 What happened?
• U.S. presidential envoys Witkoff and Kushner successively visited Moscow and Kyiv
• This is the first official visit to Ukraine by a U.S. representative
• Putin talked for more than 3 hours, and Zelensky also talked for about 3 hours
• Both sides agreed to stop shelling each other’s capitals for 3 consecutive days (Kyiv + Moscow)
📌 But don’t celebrate too soon
• The ceasefire is limited to the capitals; fighting on the front lines continues as usual
• In the past day, there were 237 combat clashes, and Russian forces captured 10 settlements
• Russia’s Perm was also hit by a drone this morning
• Zelensky’s exact words: “The war this winter seems likely to continue.”
📌 What to watch next?
Today (September 7), the second round of talks will be held. The UK, Germany, and France are joining as well. This is the real “big test.”
🤔 What does it mean for the crypto market?
Geopolitical easing → reduced risk-aversion sentiment → theoretically positive for risk assets. But this is only a “three-day ceasefire,” far from a comprehensive ceasefire.
In the short term, BTC will likely just keep ranging—don’t get too excited.
Do you think Russia-Ukraine can achieve results from these talks? Will the crypto market “price in” the peace deal in advance? 👇
