Kyiv breaks truce; Moscow signals mirror-like retaliation

Kyiv declared a truce until September 8 but immediately violated it, prompting Moscow to threaten mirror-like retaliation. The truce was tied to a visit by Kushner and Whitkoff to Kyiv, during which Putin ordered a three-day strike pause. The claim of violation is sourced from Russian media and unverified; the response signals escalation risk.
