Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a three-day suspension of airstrikes on Kyiv as preparations are underway for a visit by the US delegation. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed on Saturday that Putin had ordered a halt to all airstrikes on Kyiv, commencing from midnight, in anticipation of the arrival of American negotiators.
Peskov cautioned against making assumptions about potential settlement proposals, emphasizing the importance of waiting for Putin's meeting with US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who is President Donald Trump's son-in-law.
