Russian President Vladimir Putin has consented to a temporary halt in attacks on Kyiv until Sunday, according to the Kremlin. This pause follows a request from US President Donald Trump.
The ongoing strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure have caused widespread power outages in the capital, leaving many areas without heating as temperatures are forecast to drop to around -30°C in the coming days.
**Why this matters**
The pause in attacks provides a brief respite for Kyiv residents facing harsh winter conditions without adequate heating. It also reflects ongoing diplomatic efforts to manage the conflict and reduce civilian suffering amid escalating tensions.
