Russian President Vladimir Putin enforced a temporary ceasefire against strikes on Kyiv City earlier today, coinciding with the arrival of a U.S. diplomatic delegation in Moscow, according to The Zioneer.
The development follows the Kremlin's announcement on Saturday, September 5, that Putin had ordered a three-day halt to strikes on the Ukrainian capital, to take effect at midnight local time, as The Zioneer reported at 14:59 Jerusalem. The current report indicates that enforcement of that order is now underway.
The U.S. delegation, which includes senior Trump administration envoys, landed in Moscow on Saturday for high-level talks focused on finding a resolution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The temporary halt is limited to the Kyiv area; other fronts remain active. This marks the second such diplomatic pause during a U.S. envoy visit to Moscow, following a similar three-day halt during CIA Director John Ratcliffe's visit in August 2026.
