Ukraine awaits Russia's response on a temporary aerial ceasefire, with an answer expected overnight

Ukraine expects Russia's response on a possible temporary ceasefire in the air during diplomatic meetings, according to RBC-Ukraine citing a source in the President's Office. The US side was to discuss the matter with Russians, with an answer expected overnight. The source said the discussion concerned a temporary halt to aerial strikes, a standard practice during diplomatic meetings with geographic and time limits. Ukrainian defense forces reportedly received combat orders to stop strikes until September 7. US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner plan to visit Moscow and Kyiv this weekend for peace talks. President Trump confirmed they will bring a proposal to end the war, calling them excellent negotiators.
