克宮：普京將適時公布土耳其談判俄方代表人選
俄羅斯克里姆林宮發言人佩斯科夫說，總統普京將在適當時候宣布由誰代表俄方在土耳其與烏方會談，但拒絕透露普京本人是否會出席。 烏克蘭總統澤連斯基早前表示，已經準備好在伊斯坦布爾同普京會談，以結束戰事。烏克蘭總統顧問波多利亞克表示，澤連斯基在土耳其將只會與普京舉行會談，不會同其他俄羅斯代表團成員會面。 美國總統特朗普表示，考慮到土耳其參與俄烏和談。

“To the extent it is used I fear it’s often for illicit finance. It’s an extremely inefficient way of conducting transactions, and the amount of energy that’s consumed in processing those transactions is staggering,” the former Fed chairwoman said. Yellen’s comments have been cited as a reason for bitcoin’s recent losses. However, Yellen’s assessment of bitcoin as a inefficient medium of exchange is an important point and one that has already been raised in the past by bitcoin bulls. Using a volatile asset in exchange for goods and services makes little sense if the asset can tumble 10% in a day, or surge 80% over the course of a two months as bitcoin has done in 2021, critics argue. To put a finer point on it, over the past 12 months bitcoin has registered 8 corrections, defined as a decline from a recent peak of at least 10% but not more than 20%, and two bear markets, which are defined as falls of 20% or more, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
