  • Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a three-day halt to attacks on Kyiv, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
  • Peskov linked the order to preparations for meetings by U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Kyiv.
  • He also said Ukraine had informed Moscow that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy would suspend attacks on Russia while the envoys were in both countries.

The Kremlin says Vladimir Putin has ordered Russian forces to stop attacking Kyiv for three days as U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner travel between Moscow and Kyiv.

The suspension began at midnight, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. He said the decision was connected to preparations for contacts involving the American representatives in Kyiv.

Peskov also confirmed that Kyiv had informed Moscow of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's decision to suspend attacks on Russia while Witkoff and Kushner were present in the two countries.

Washington had demanded security guarantees from both sides in the conflict. The Kremlin initially denied on Friday that a possible agreement with Ukraine had been reached on the issue. The supplied statement ends as Peskov says, “Russia must do the same,” without providing the rest of the sentence.
