BREAKING Putin Orders 72-Hour Pause in Strikes on Kyiv
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered a 72-hour halt to Russian strikes on Kyiv, beginning Saturday, as U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrive in Moscow in an effort to revive peace negotiations over the war in Ukraine.
The two U.S. representatives are expected to travel to Ukraine afterward as Washington seeks to restart diplomatic efforts between Moscow and Kyiv.
The limited pause comes amid a renewed escalation in Russian and Ukrainian attacks, raising hopes that the temporary halt could create space for further negotiations.
The move is being closely watched as Washington attempts to push both sides back toward the negotiating table.
