Kyiv, March 12: Russian ballistic missiles killed at least five civilians in Ukraine, officials said Wednesday, a day after the Trump administration lifted its suspension of military aid for Kyiv's fight against Russia's invasion and Ukrainian officials signaled they were open to a 30-day ceasefire. The Kremlin didn't comment on the agreement announced Tuesday between the US and Ukraine on the provision of further military support, including intelligence sharing, and the possibility of a ceasefire that Washington backs.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday that it's important not to 슬롯사이트œget ahead슬롯사이트� of the question of responding to the 30-day ceasefire proposal. He told reporters that Moscow is awaiting 슬롯사이트œdetailed information슬롯사이트� about it from the US and suggested Russia must get that before it can take a position. The Russian missiles killed four Syrian men between the ages of 18 and 24 on a ship docked at the southern port of Odesa late Tuesday, where it was loading Ukrainian wheat for Algeria, Infrastructure Minister Oleksii Kuleba said. 슬롯사이트˜Ukraine Has Agreed for Ceasefire, Hopefully Russia Will Agree to It슬롯사이트� After Jeddah Meet, Says US President Donald Trump.

Another missile killed a woman in Kryvih Rih, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's hometown in central Ukraine, authorities said. The American help is vital for Ukraine's shorthanded and weary army, which is having a tough time keeping Russia's bigger military force at bay. But for Moscow, more American aid spells potentially more difficulty in achieving its war aims and likely will be a tough sell in Moscow for Washington's peace efforts.

Arms deliveries to Ukraine have already resumed through a Polish logistics centre, the foreign ministers of Ukraine and Poland announced Wednesday. The deliveries go through a NATO and US hub in the eastern Polish city of Rzeszow that's has been used to ferry Western weapons into neighbouring Ukraine about 70 kilometres away. US President Donald Trump wants to end the three-year war and pressured Zelenskyy to enter talks. The suspension of US assistance came days after Zelenskyy and Trump argued about the conflict in a tense White House meeting.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who led the American delegation to Tuesday's talks in Saudi Arabia, said that Washington would present the ceasefire offer to the Kremlin, which has so far opposed anything short of a permanent end to the conflict and hasn't accepted any concessions. 슬롯사이트œWe're going to tell (the Russians) this is what's on the table. Ukraine is ready to stop shooting and start talking. And now it'll be up to them to say yes or no,슬롯사이트� Rubio told reporters after the talks. 슬롯사이트œIf they say no, then we'll unfortunately know what the impediment is to peace here.슬롯사이트� Ukraine: Russia Launches Missile Barrage on Energy Infrastructure in Odesa and Kharkiv (Watch Video).

The person cautioned that scheduling could change. French President Emmanuel Macron welcome the US-Ukraine agreement and said on X that 슬롯사이트œthe ball is now clearly in Russia's court.슬롯사이트�

Russian lawmakers signalled wariness about the prospect of a ceasefire. 슬롯사이트œRussia is advancing (on the battlefield), so it will be different with Russia,슬롯사이트� senior Russian senator Konstantin Kosachev noted in a post on the messaging app Telegram. 슬롯사이트œAny agreements (with the understanding of the need for compromise) should be on our terms, not American,슬롯사이트� Kosachev wrote. Lawmaker Mikhail Sheremet told the state news agency Tass that 슬롯사이트œRussia is not interested in continuing슬롯사이트� the war but at the same time Moscow 슬롯사이트œwill not tolerate begin strung along.슬롯사이트�

Russia's foreign intelligence service, known as the SVR, reported Wednesday morning that the service's chief, Sergei Naryshkin, spoke on the phone with CIA Director John Ratcliffe on Tuesday.
