Kyiv is “a little calmer” after Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly ordered a halt to attacks on the Ukrainian capital, according to Estonia’s ambassador to Ukraine, Tiina Intelmann.

Speaking on Kuku radio’s foreign affairs program, Intelmann said Ukrainians nevertheless do not place particularly high hopes in the visit by US President Donald Trump’s special envoys to Moscow.

Media reports said Putin ordered the pause for the duration of the visit by the envoys, who had arrived in Moscow and were planning to travel onward to Kyiv on Sunday. The report prompted questions about whether residents could feel or see any change in the city.

Intelmann’s comments presented the reported lull and the diplomatic visit as separate developments: Kyiv was somewhat quieter, but expectations for the envoys’ Moscow trip remained limited.
