One outcome so far, a promise by the Russian leader to temporarily suspend attacks on Ukraine's capital city cave ahead of a visit by the Americans expected on Sunday, and PR's Charles Mains reports for Moscow. Ahead of the talks, Putin announced a 72-hour pause on attacks on Kiev, building on the similar gesture by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky while the Americans traveled
to Moscow. It amounts to a temporary reprieve for both capital cities after a summer of escalating drone and missile strikes often targeting civilian infrastructure. Let's clear as what progress there might be towards an actual peace deal, and announcing the diplomatic mission, President Trump suggested Wittkoff and Kushner had a new proposal
on offer, yet publicly Putin has shown little willingness to compromise, and Zelensky, little desire for territorial concessions. The Cremin insists are required for a lasting peace. Charles Mains and PR News Moscow.
