Putin halts attacks on Kyiv for three days during Trump envoy visit
The Russian leader ordered the midnight ceasefire to allow American envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to safely conduct their work. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy previously promised to halt military action during the Washington trip, though Moscow originally brushed off his request with overnight attacks. A Kremlin spokesperson confirmed to state media that the new pause specifically protects the capital.
