Donald Trump announced that Vladimir Putin agreed to pause attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities for a week due to extremely cold weather. Trump stated he personally requested this of Putin, who agreed. While Russia has not confirmed this agreement, Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledged Trump's statement and expressed hope for its implementation. The pause is expected to coincide with plummeting temperatures in Kyiv, reaching -24C (-11F). Reportedly, Ukraine has agreed to halt attacks on Russian oil refineries in response. This announcement follows trilateral talks between Russian, Ukrainian, and US negotiators in the UAE, though no prior agreement of this nature had been publicly disclosed. Despite these talks, attacks have continued, crippling Ukraine's power supply.
