Putin has called for a halt to strikes on the Ukrainian capital for three days, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told the Russian news agency Interfax. The pause is in place from midnight tonight, he said.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine is ready to observe a ceasefire in airstrikes against the cities involved in the negotiation process during the US peace envoys visit.
'From now through the end of Saturday, as well as on Sunday and Monday, Ukraine is ready to refrain from strikes on Moscow, expecting the Ruiussian to do the same regarding Kyiv', he wrote on X.
Witkoff and Kushner arrived in Moscow on Saturday ahead of meetings with officials in Russia and Ukraine this weekend.
The pair come armed with a "proposal to end the war," US President Donald Trump has announced, as the US makes its latest push to break a diplomatic deadlock over the war in Ukraine.
"I sent Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, two great negotiators. They've done a great job, and we sent them over to see whether or not we can get something done. And there may be a good chance that we'll do it," Trump told reporters on Friday.
The duo is then due to head to Kyiv on Sunday, in what will be their first visits to the city since Trump returned to the White house in January last year.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the planned visit to Ukraine in a post on X.
"We need to look for real options for how to move this war toward an end," Zelenskyy wrote. "We will see what proposals Steve and Jared bring and what they are told in Moscow in response".
He added that Ukrainian forces would ensure the "normal functioning of Russian airspace" to ensure the envoys could make the trip to Moscow safely.
Zelenskyy had warned airlines and insurers on Tuesday that Russian airspace would "effectively be closing" due to the scale of Ukrainian drone operations making flying unsafe.
Russian strikes kill four overnight
The announcement came as Russian strikes on the city of Kamianske in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region killed four overnight, per local authorities.
Oleksandr Hanzha, the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Military Administration, said five people were also injured in the strikes, which hit an industrial facility.
On Friday, Zelenskyy announced that a Russian drone had also hit the headquarters of Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) in central Kyiv, adding that it had been "aimed directly" at the head of the agency's office.
In response to the attack, he said he had ordered the SBU to carry out an "appropriate, tangible response and, where possible, one that mirrors this strike."
Zelenskyy said on Saturday that Russia had also struck airports in Kyiv and Boryspil overnight, calling them "deliberate" and a "reaction" to the planned envoy meetings.
"We have taken note of this Russian move, and next week we will adjust our operation accordingly regarding Russian airspace," he wrote on X.
