  • Ukrainian defense units reportedly received orders to observe silence along the front from midnight on September 5 until late September 8.
  • The measure was described as a Ukrainian proposal, and the report said no agreement had been reached with Russia.
  • The reported order came as U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner prepared visits to Moscow and Kyiv to discuss ending the war, while air alerts were declared in Kyiv.

Ukrainian defense units received orders to observe a period of silence along the front from midnight on September 5 until 11:59 p.m. on September 8, according to Ukrainian media citing sources in several brigades and a senior security-sector source.

The reported measure was a proposal from the Ukrainian side, but no agreement with Russia had been reached when the information was published. The report therefore did not confirm a ceasefire between Kyiv and Moscow.

The announcement came as Kyiv faced renewed security alerts. An air raid alert was declared in the capital shortly after midnight. Ukraineโ€™s air force reported drone activity over the Kyiv and Kharkiv regions, and air-defense activity could be heard in the city.

The possible front-line pause was reported ahead of planned visits by U.S. presidential envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. They were expected to travel to Russia and Ukraine over the weekend to discuss ways to end the war.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had previously said that Ukraine would ensure the โ€œnormal functioning of Russian airspaceโ€ during the envoysโ€™ visits on September 5 and 6. The report stressed that there was still no confirmation of a ceasefire agreement between Kyiv and Moscow.
