Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced on Saturday that President Vladimir Putin has ordered a three-day halt to attacks on Kyiv, from early September 5 to late September 7, ahead of a US envoy's visit to Ukraine. The order was reported by TASS news agency and is directly linked to the upcoming visit by an American special envoy to Ukraine. The ceasefire applies specifically to the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, during the specified period. This unilateral pause in strikes on Kyiv appears intended to create conditions for the US envoy's visit, though no further details about the visit's purpose or schedule were provided in the report.
