Putin and Zelenskyy Agree to Pause Strikes on Kyiv and Moscow During Talks with US Envoys
Putin and Zelenskyy ordered a 72-hour pause as U.S. envoys seek to revive stalled peace talks, officials said.
- U.S. special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow on Saturday to revive stalled peace talks, with a planned visit to Kyiv on Sunday to present a proposal to end the war.
- Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a 72-hour halt to strikes on Kyiv starting at midnight Saturday, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pledged to pause airstrikes on Moscow during the envoys' trip to ensure safe passage.
- Despite the diplomatic efforts, overnight strikes hit Kyiv and Boryspil airports on Saturday, which Zelenskyy linked to the envoys' arrival. A Russian strike on an industrial facility in Kamianske killed five people, including workers at their shift.
- Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed the envoys met Putin on Saturday but downplayed expectations, saying there was "no talk of new ideas" to resolve the conflict.
- Disputes over territory and NATO ties remain unresolved, complicating negotiations; the U.S. has proposed a 28-point framework offering security guarantees and roughly $100 billion in frozen Russian assets for postwar reconstruction.
