Kremlin: Putin orders three-day halt to attacks on Kyiv
The Kremlin announced on Saturday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered a three-day pause in attacks on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv. No further details on the reasoning or exact timing were provided.

The Kremlin's press service said on Saturday that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has instructed Russian armed forces to refrain from striking Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, for a period of three days.
The announcement was made by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, though no further explanation was given regarding the reasons behind the decision or the exact dates the pause would cover.
Kyiv has repeatedly come under missile and drone attacks since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, with strikes affecting both military and civilian sites. Such announcements from Moscow have in the past sometimes been linked to political or diplomatic considerations, though no such context was specified in this case.
It remains unclear whether the order also applies to other Ukrainian cities or regions, as no such information was included in the source report.
