Ukraine declares 'no airstrikes' as US talks on war expected: 'Russia must ensure ceasefire...'
US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are expected to travel to Moscow on Saturday and Kyiv on Sunday.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged a temporary ceasefire during discussions with Russian leaders, stating there will be no Ukrainian airstrikes. Russian President Vladimir Putin's envoy and US officials Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are set to visit Kyiv and Moscow this weekend to discuss a potential peace agreement.
Zelensky's proposal for a ceasefire comes after a recent surge in Russian airstrikes, including a daytime attack on Ukrainian intelligence headquarters that killed one person and injured five. The US envoy's visits mark their first to Kyiv, aimed at negotiating a resolution to the four-and-a-half-year conflict.
