歐洲理事會：證券化框架將降低多數安全且結構良好交易的資本要求。

Russian President Vladimir Putin met Wednesday with U.S. special envoy Witkoff to discuss ending the war in Ukraine, foreign media reported. At the outset of the meeting Russia released a detained U.S. retired teacher as a goodwill gesture. Russian agencies quoted Putin thanking U.S. President Trump for efforts to resolve the conflict and saying Russia is interested in restoring economic ties with the United States. Witkoff, in his ninth face-to-face meeting with Putin, said a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire has a basis and urged consideration of trilateral talks between Russia, the U.S. and Ukraine.

Iranian foreign minister Araghchi said further deterioration in the Strait of Hormuz or elsewhere in the region would pose major risks to the welfare of all regional countries and to the global economy, adding past experience shows this will continue to be the case.
