“Putin has ordered that no strikes be carried out against Kyiv for three days, starting at midnight today,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told state media early Saturday. Ukrainian media had previously reported that its army would observe a ceasefire during the visit, though the details had not yet been finalized. "Such information did come from Ukraine,” Peskov confirmed.

“They're bringing with them a proposal to end the war,” U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Friday, calling the two “great negotiators.”
Following the Kremlin’s announcement, Zelensky wrote on X that he had been in touch with the envoys and was “ready to observe a ceasefire in airstrikes against the cities involved in the negotiation process.”
Hours earlier, however, Zelensky posted about an overnight wave of Russian attacks that targeted major airports in Kyiv and Boryspil and killed five people at an industrial site elsewhere in Ukraine. According to the Ukrainian air force, Russia launched ballistic missiles and 167 attack drones in the attack.
Trump attempts to revive stalled Ukraine-Russia peace talks
Trump has repeatedly stated that ending the Russia-Ukraine war is a major priority of his Administration, but the reality of that aim has proven difficult.
In October 2025, Trump and Putin planned to meet in Budapest in hopes of furthering peace talks. But the summit was canceled just a few days after the summit was announced after Russia indicated that its hard-line stance on the war had not shifted.
Strain between Trump and Zelensky also impeded progress. In February 2025, Oval Office talks collapsed within minutes when the U.S. President accused Zelensky of being “ungrateful” for U.S. aid and refusing to agree to a ceasefire without security assurances. In the 18 months since, however, that tension has largely dissipated, with Trump saying at this year’s NATO summit that the two had “actually developed a good relationship.”
Renewed mediation comes as Ukraine continues to launch some of its largest aerial assaults of the war yet, showcasing the nation’s rapid advancement of drone and missile capabilities in recent months.
It demonstrated its growing capacity to strike deep inside Russian territory in August, with strikes landing up to 1,500 miles over the shared border—including attacks on warehouses used by the prominent online retailer Wildberries, after Kyiv said its logistics sites are being used to support the Russian military.
