Three days without Russian strikes on kyiv? Earlier in the day, the Russian president ordered a cessation of strikes on kyiv for three days on the occasion of the expected visit of American emissaries to the Ukrainian capital, according to the Kremlin. Requested by Volodymyr Zelensky, this break must begin during the night from Saturday to Sunday. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov, quoted by the Tass agency, specifies that this decision is linked to "the preparation and holding of contacts" with the American delegation.

Airports referred to kyiv. Ahead of this trip, Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky accused Russia of having carried out "deliberate" attacks against two airports in the kyiv metropolis. “It is clear that these Russian strikes against the airports constitute a reaction to the discussions and preparations concerning the possibility that [the emissaries of Donald Trump] use a plane to go to Ukraine,” denounced the head of state on social networks. “Next week we will adapt our operations accordingly with regard to Russian airspace,” he threatened.

Russian attack leaves at least four dead. At least four people were killed and five injured in a Russian attack on the town of Kamianske in central Ukraine, the regional military administration announced Saturday morning. "Three of the injured are in hospital. Among them is a 30-year-old woman who is in intensive care," wrote the head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional administration, Oleksandr Ganzha, on Telegram.
