Vladimir Putin has ordered a suspension of attacks on Kyiv for a period of three days. This decision is related to the arrival in Moscow and Kyiv of U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

The ceasefire will take effect at midnight and has been announced after a Russian offensive resulted in at least five deaths and multiple injuries in Ukrainian territory.

The Kremlin's decision generates expectations regarding the visit of the U.S. special envoys, which could influence the developments in the region.

As international attention intensifies on this diplomatic meeting, Putin's decision is viewed as an apparently strategic gesture in the context of U.S.-Russia relations.

The context for this suspension also ties into Ukraine's recent announcement of a similar measure, highlighting the existing tension in the area.

The visit of Witkoff and Kushner is expected to address key issues in bilateral relations and potential solutions to the current crisis in Ukraine.
