Donald Trump stated that he asked Russian President Vladimir Putin not to attack Ukrainian cities, especially Kyiv, for a week during an extremely harsh winter. During a cabinet meeting at the White House, Trump said that Putin agreed to this request, emphasizing that many believed his appeal would have no effect. Kyiv is facing severe electricity shortages, and weather forecasts indicate temperatures will drop to -30°C. Despite this agreement, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov avoided commenting on whether there is a discussion about a mutual halt to attacks on energy facilities. This situation arises in the context where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned about Russia's plans to launch a new massive attack, despite peace negotiations facilitated by the US scheduled for the weekend.
