US envoys land in Moscow as Russia pauses Kyiv airstrikes

moneycontrol.com

Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a three-day pause in airstrikes on Kyiv as US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow for talks, with Ukraine reciprocating the halt. The envoys landed Saturday and will meet Putin before traveling to Ukraine on Sunday, their first visit since the war began. Expectations are low, as previous trips failed to yield progress and Moscow’s demands have toughened. Hostilities continued before the pause, with Russia launching missiles and drones overnight, including strikes near Kyiv airports. Ukraine pledged no airstrikes during the visit, while Kyiv remains pessimistic about meaningful breakthroughs.
