Ukraine agreed to pause long-range strikes for 3 days while CIA Director John Ratcliffe held talks with Russian officials, sources said.
- The United States requested that Ukraine suspend drone and missile strikes against Moscow, Petersburg, and northern Russia from August 24 through 26 during a high-level delegation's visit.
- CIA Director John Ratcliffe arrived in Moscow on Tuesday for talks with Russian officials, marking the first high-level Trump administration visit to Russia since January.
- According to Axios, Ukraine agreed to comply with the requested "pause in strikes" to ensure safety of the visiting delegation while Ratcliffe remains in Moscow.
- Russian media reported that Putin rescheduled a large-scale event previously planned for Tuesday, involving hundreds of people, a few days before Ratcliffe's arrival.
