Russia has reportedly agreed to stop attacking the capital city, Kyiv. They may also stop attacks on other Ukrainian cities. This is a surprise. Moscow said Donald Trump asked Russia to stop. The cold winter weather also helped. The war is now in its 1,437th day. Air raid sirens were still heard at night. However, Russia did not attack energy buildings.
Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for the Kremlin, said President Putin agreed. Russia will stop attacks on Kyiv for one week. This will end on February 1st. Peskov said this was because of Donald Trump's request. Mr. Trump said Mr. Putin promised to stop attacks on Kyiv and "towns." This could be a step to stop the fighting. However, we must wait and see.
Russia still used drones and a missile. These were used near the front lines. In the Zaporizhzhia region, two people were hurt. Air raid alerts were heard in eight areas. Kyiv had 530 alerts this week. This shows the pressure on people.
The weather is very cold in Ukraine. Temperatures in Kyiv will be very low soon. Russia has attacked power and heating systems before in cold weather. Many homes do not have enough heat. This makes life harder for people.
We do not know what this means yet. Russia said it wants peace talks. It is unusual for an American politician to help. We will watch to see if the stop in attacks lasts. The weather is still cold. The situation is still uncertain. For now, there is a quiet over Kyiv. This is good for the people there.
