Three-day ceasefire should enable visitors to Kyiv
Putin has ordered a three-day ceasefire in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. It is intended to ensure that Witkoff and Kushner, who have already been in… Russia were able to visit Kyiv for the first time ever. Putin said Russia was doing everything it could to ensure their safe journey. Zelensky had accused the Russian military of demonstratively shelling Kiev’s Shulyany and Boryspil airports before the Americans arrived.
The previous talks between Putin and Trump’s envoys had also led to direct negotiations between Russians and Ukrainians. However, they first stalled and were then stopped because Witkoff and Kushner have been mainly involved in Trump’s war against him in recent months Iran were busy. Since Russia is supporting Iran in the conflict, experts close to the Kremlin speculated whether Witkoff and Kushner might also address the issue of Iran.
