Trump says Putin agreed to not fire on Kyiv for a week during cold

Trump said Putin agreed to a one-week pause on attacks to ease civilian suffering during extreme cold, while Russia has not confirmed the ceasefire, officials said.

  • On Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump said he asked Russian President Vladimir Putin not to fire on Kyiv for one week, and Trump said Putin `agreed` but Russia offered no confirmation.
  • Kyiv is forecast to enter a brutally cold stretch starting Friday as Russian strikes have pounded Ukraine's critical infrastructure, leaving many without heating, light and running water.
  • Ukraine's defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov reported Russia launched over 6,000 drones over the past month, with previous attacks involving more than 800 drones and missiles targeting behind the roughly 600-mile front line.
  • Negotiations are poised to resume on Sunday amid doubts about Moscow's commitment, and Dmitry Peskov refused to comment on a mutual halt; meanwhile, a Russian drone attack killed three in Zaporizhzhia and injured two in Dnipropetrovsk.
  • The push for a settlement, led over the past year by the Trump administration, unsettles European leaders as an international think tank report warns casualties could reach 2 million by spring.
