Ukrainian authorities have declared a four-day ceasefire in light of the upcoming visits by US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who will travel to both Moscow and Kiev. This decision comes amid rising tensions in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

According to reports from various media, Witkoff and Kushner have now arrived in Moscow, where they were greeted at Vnukovo International Airport by a representative of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The American representatives have been tasked by President Donald Trump to present an "idea for peace" to Putin.

At the same time, there are reports of a recent Russian attack on a Ukrainian city, resulting in four fatalities. This underscores the ongoing violence, despite the announced ceasefire.

Russia has also carried out airstrikes on two airports in Kiev ahead of the visit by the US envoys. This indicates a complexity in the situation, as military actions occur while diplomatic efforts are unfolding.

Following their talks with Putin, Witkoff and Kushner are expected to travel to Kiev, where they will continue discussions with Ukrainian officials. The content of their proposals for the Ukrainian authorities has not yet been made public.

Developments in this situation are being closely monitored, and live updates are available regarding the progress of the US envoys' visits and reactions from both Ukraine and Russia.
