The suspension, reported by Russian state agency TASS, is tied to upcoming US consultations in Kyiv. Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed the order, while Ukraine reported ongoing Russian drone activity in multiple regions, injuring at least seven people. US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner landed at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport, with plans to visit Kyiv. President Trump claimed Putin is "not looking to attack NATO territory," despite European accusations of Russian sabotage campaigns.
