Putin stops attacks on Kyiv; planned meeting with Trump's envoys

As Reuters reported on Saturday, citing Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, Vladimir Putin ordered no attacks on Kiev from midnight Friday to Saturday for three consecutive days.

Moreover, as the head of the Kremlin's press service said in an interview with state media, on Saturday the Russian leader is to meet with US President Donald Trump's special envoys - Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

The proposal to cease fire came from Kiev

Kyrylo Budanov, the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, said earlier that the proposal to cease fire came from Kiev. He also confirmed that representatives of the American authorities will visit Ukraine on Sunday.

The head of state's adviser also expressed his belief that the Russians may refrain from attacking Kiev tomorrow due to the presence of Donald Trump's people in the Ukrainian capital.

Earlier on Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Russian forces carried out deliberate attacks on the airports in Kiev and Boryspil on the night from Friday to Saturday, which may be a reaction to discussions about the possible arrival of American envoys to Ukraine by plane and landing at one of these airports.

Negotiators representing the American administration would go there immediately after Saturday's visit to Moscow. “Russian-Iranian (drones) Shahed in response to US diplomacy,” the Ukrainian leader wrote on Telegram.
