Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered a three-day ceasefire in Kyiv starting Saturday, according to Russian state media, to facilitate a visit by a US delegation. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the halt on attacks aims to prepare for US contacts in Kyiv. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly agreed to suspend strikes on Russia during the envoys' visit, though Moscow initially rejected Washington's security guarantee request on Friday. Putin is expected to meet US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on Saturday, with the White House representatives also scheduled to visit Kyiv on Sunday as part of ongoing negotiations.
