BlockBeats News, December 31 – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Kyiv is discussing the possibility of establishing a future US military presence in Ukraine and views it as a key pillar of post-war security guarantees. Meanwhile, Zelensky dismissed Russia’s claims that President Putin’s residence was attacked, calling the allegations fabricated and aimed at undermining the already fragile peace negotiations. US President Donald Trump said that the US and Ukraine are “close to reaching” an agreement to end the conflict, although disagreements remain on security guarantees and territorial issues. At the same time, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that if the incident is confirmed, Moscow will reassess and strengthen its negotiating stance while still remaining within the framework of negotiations. French officials also pointed out that there is no evidence to support Russia’s claims that Putin’s residence was attacked. Bitunix analyst opinion: The potential deployment of US troops in Ukraine has become a key geopolitical variable. Any escalation of security commitments could temporarily increase geopolitical risk premiums. For the cryptocurrency market, the re-emergence of negotiation uncertainties and escalating tensions may intensify volatility and accelerate capital flows between safe-haven assets and risk assets. As BTC enters the year-end consolidation phase, traders should closely monitor liquidity and the pressure zone near 86,700 points, while also paying attention to the repeated testing of resistance around 90,370. Market structure will increasingly depend on macro news developments and directions.
