The Kremlin said it had ordered a temporary truce to be in effect from Saturday afternoon until the end of Sunday, a 32-hour period during which Russia would stop fighting “in all directions”.

But in Kyiv there was scepticism over whether Moscow would keep to its promise for a rare respite in a war that has killed hundreds of thousands and decimated eastern Ukraine since Russia invaded in February 2022.

The truce – according to Moscow – will start at 4pm on Saturday.
