US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Pentagon to halt cyber operations against Russia.
These operations, which can include forms of sabotage or espionage, have been paused in an effort to bring Russia to the negotiating table for a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine.
The order was given before the meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on Friday.
This move is part of a broader strategy to create a favorable environment for negotiations and potentially end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
