Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a brief pause in aerial attacks, with Russian President Vladimir Putin ordering a three-day halt to attacks against Ukraine. According to the Kremlin, the agreement was reached during a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
The two U.S. envoys held a nearly three-hour-long meeting with President Putin, during which they held detailed discussions on various issues, including efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war and the possibility of a ceasefire. According to the Kremlin spokesperson, the talks were meaningful and constructive. The sides considered several proposals aimed at ending the war and developed a number of possible solutions. The Kremlin also said that the U.S. envoys assured President Putin that they would present his position during negotiations with Ukraine.
Meanwhile, U.S. media have reported that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected to visit Ukraine today, where they will present the Russian position and ceasefire proposals to Ukrainian officials. The announcement of a three-day pause in aerial attacks comes at a time when diplomatic efforts to end the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine are intensifying. However, the prospects for a lasting peace agreement will depend on progress in the positions of both sides during the upcoming negotiations.
