Putin orders a 72-hour pause in strikes on Kyiv as U.S. envoys visit Russia and Ukraine

Vladimir Putin has ordered a 72-hour pause in aerial strikes on Kyiv. This three-day suspension occurs as U.S. envoys visit both Russia and Ukraine. The diplomatic mission aims to end a war that has lasted over four years, following a period of escalated attacks by both sides. This move aligns with a renewed U.S. diplomatic push to resolve the conflict that began with the Kremlin's invasion of its neighbor several years ago.
