US envoy reports progress toward trilateral talks; three-day truce agreed

US special envoy Steve Witkoff claims 'substantial progress' after separate meetings with Putin and Zelensky, with agreement on a three-day truce to protect a Trump-led diplomatic mission. The claim is unverified and details of the truce and talks remain unclear. This marks a potential de-escalation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, but the fragility of prior ceasefires warrants caution.
