Russia and Ukraine have agreed to begin a brief ceasefire on Saturday. According to sources, this is the first major ceasefire agreement between the parties to the conflict in recent months.
Details of the ceasefire terms have not yet been disclosed. The duration of the agreement and the territories to which it applies remain unclear. Ukraine had previously made demands for the withdrawal of Russian troops from occupied territories as a condition for negotiations.
Neither country's Defense Ministry has issued official statements yet. International observers note that any ceasefire could open a window for diplomatic negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow. The agreement came as a surprise amid ongoing hostilities in Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
