— President Putin to Kushner and Witkoff:We received the request to halt strikes against Kyiv through official channels — the specialized services and the foreign ministry channels
I gave an order, a respective order, starting from this midnight to pause the strikes.
The Ukrainian authorities published their call for a broader ceasefire for three days, but this was something we did not agree upon with them.
We will do our utmost to provide for the safety of the negotiations and the brokers.
