President Donald Trump stated on February 3, 2026, during an interview that Russian President Vladimir Putin adhered to a Sunday-to-Sunday pause on strikes before launching hard hits last night, responding to a question about renewed attacks despite a U.S. proposal for a cold weather halt, according to a clip posted by @atrupar on X within the reporting window from 10:15:31 PM to 11:15:19 PM UTC. Trump specified the agreement covered Sunday to Sunday, after which Russia resumed strikes, directly addressing claims that Putin violated a cold weather pause proposed by the U.S., as captured in the X post timestamped during this 59-minute period. Separately, Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov reported two Russian missile strikes on February 3, 2026—one in Kharkiv's immediate suburbs and the other in the Saltivskyi district—with relevant services dispatched to the impact sites, according to his statement linked in the sources. This follows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's earlier X post within the prior reporting window from 9:45:41 PM to 10:15:19 PM UTC, stating he awaits America's reaction to Russia's record ballistic missile strikes rejecting Trump's personal proposal to pause energy infrastructure attacks during severe winter weather and diplomacy.
