Putin Warns Russia Is "Ready" for Conflict with Europe

Russian President Vladimir Putin declared on Tuesday that Russia is prepared for war if Europe chooses that path. He accused European leaders of undermining a potential deal to end the conflict in Ukraine. Putin made the statement as U.S. envoys arrived in Moscow for high-level talks. The American delegation includes Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, former President Donald Trump's son-in-law. Their negotiations aim to find a way to stop the war in Ukraine, which has lasted nearly four years. The talks follow several days of intense diplomatic efforts.
