"They've never experienced cold like that. And I personally asked President Putin not to fire into Kyiv and the various towns for a week. And he agreed to do that,"
"A lot of people said, 'Don't waste the call, you're not going to get that.' And he did it,"
"Thank you, President Trump! Our teams discussed this in the United Arab Emirates. We expect the agreements to be implemented. De-escalation steps contribute to real progress toward ending the war,"

Donald Trump said he asked Vladimir Putin not to fire into Kyiv and various towns for a week because temperatures had plunged, and Trump said Putin agreed. There was no immediate confirmation from the Kremlin about a one-week halt to strikes. Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the reported move and said teams discussed the issue during three-way talks in the United Arab Emirates with US negotiators. Temperatures dropped as low as minus 20°C, energy blackouts damaged heating and electricity infrastructure, and over 400 Kyiv residential buildings remained without heating while workers labored around the clock. The emergency service warned of an even sharper temperature drop beginning February 1 affecting nearly all regions.
