On September 6th, local time, Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks with visiting US Presidential Envoys Witkov and Jared Kushner on the evening of September 5th. The talks lasted approximately three hours. Putin stated that Russia had received a request through its intelligence and diplomatic departments to "cease airstrikes on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv," and that he had issued orders to halt Russian airstrikes on Kyiv. Putin also mentioned that Ukraine had significantly reduced its attacks on Russian territory (including Moscow). Putin further noted that Ukraine had proposed a broader three-day ceasefire, which Russia had not agreed to. However, Russia will make every effort to ensure the progress of US-Ukraine negotiations and the safety of negotiators. Earlier that day, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov confirmed that Putin had ordered a three-day halt to airstrikes on Kyiv.

The rocket, carrying a payload including five small satellites, entered orbit approximately four minutes after liftoff. This was Isars second launch attempt this year, following multiple delays due to weather, technical issues, and interference from an out-of-control vessel. The 28-meter-tall rocket can deliver a 1,000-kilogram payload to low Earth orbit, significantly smaller than SpaceXs rockets. Isar CEO Daniel Metzler, speaking at the companys €270 million ($313 million) funding round earlier this year, stated that the rockets size helps in placing satellites into specific orbits and differentiates it from SpaceXs offerings.Official footage shows that Isars unmanned space rocket has been launched from its base in Norway.
