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.
