Ukraine awaits Russia's response on a proposed air ceasefire, with Moscow's answer possibly coming tonight

Ukraine is awaiting Russia's response on a proposed air ceasefire during diplomatic meetings, with Moscow's answer potentially known as early as tonight, according to a source in the President's Office cited by RBC-Ukraine. The proposal, discussed with the American side, involves a temporary halt to aerial strikes within specific geographic and time frames during negotiations. Ukrainian defense forces have reportedly received combat orders to stop strikes until the end of September 7. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Trump's envoys will arrive in Kyiv on Sunday, September 6, and Ukraine will ensure "normal functioning of Russian airspace" for their safety, expecting Russia to mirror the restraint. This visit was previously planned for spring and Independence Day but was postponed due to Russian strikes.
