Zelensky confirms readiness to temporarily halt strikes on Moscow

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed on Saturday that Kyiv is prepared to temporarily hold off on air strikes against the Russian capital, Moscow.

The confirmation came after Zelensky held talks with envoys from the United States. Details of the discussions and the specific reasoning behind the decision were not disclosed in the report.

The statement comes amid ongoing international efforts to advance progress toward ending the war in Ukraine, with US officials involved in trying to facilitate a negotiation process between Kyiv and Moscow.

It remains unclear how long such a pause in strikes might last, or whether Russia has offered any reciprocal commitments on the matter.
