RUSSIA UKRAINA WAR

❗️US President Donald Trump says Russia's Vladimir Putin has agreed to halt attacks on Kiev and some other Ukrainian areas for a week, after strikes left swathes of the Ukrainian capital without heating in freezing temperatures.

"They've never experienced cold like that. And I personally asked President Putin not to fire into Kiev and the various towns for a week," Mr Trump told a cabinet meeting in Washington on Thursday.

"And he agreed to do that, and I have to tell you, it was very nice."
