The Kremlin broke silence on Wednesday, delivering its initial reaction to Kyiv and the White House's unilateral agreement proposing a temporary ceasefire.

The resumption of U.S. military and intelligence aid for Ukraine follows a contentious White House meeting between the American and Ukrainain leaders, but Moscow is unlikely to agree to the proposed ceasefire.

(Reuters) - An influential Russian lawmaker, commenting on a ceasefire proposal agreed between U.S. and Ukrainian officials, said on Wednesday that any deal would be on Moscow's terms, not Washington's.

Russia said it had downed more than 300 Ukrainian drones just hours before the first high-level talks between Washington and Kyiv since a tense Oval Office meeting.

Ukraine launched its biggest ever drone attack on Moscow, killing at least two workers at a meat warehouse, injuring 18 others and causing a short shutdown at the Russian capital's four airports, Russian officials said.
