Russia Halts Strikes On Kyiv For Three Days As US Delegation Visits Moscow

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered a three-day pause on strikes targeting Kyiv in connection with preparations for the visit of an American delegation. US representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have arrived in Moscow to hold talks with Russian officials, including a meeting with Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev, and are scheduled to meet President Putin. The diplomatic engagement follows previous contacts between Washington and Moscow amid intensifying drone and missile exchanges in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The American envoys are expected to relay discussions back to the US leadership as diplomatic back-channel efforts continue.
