Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered a halt to strikes on Kyiv for three days, from September 5 to 8, citing the upcoming visit of a US delegation. The ceasefire regime is set to begin at midnight on September 5, with the order specifically targeting Kyiv city only, not the surrounding region or other Ukrainian cities. The US delegation is led by special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Ukrainian official Andriy Kovalenko criticized the move, noting it excludes Kyiv Oblast and other regions, and argued this cannot be considered a genuine ceasefire, suggesting Russia does not seek an end to the war.
