KYIV: Moscow signals yes to talks while its warheads are still in the air over Ukrainian homes.
Russian missiles struck Kyiv after the Kremlin told Washington it would return to negotiations with Ukraine.
The timing shows Russia wants to bargain from a position of active force, not a ceasefire.
Trump now owns the gap between what Moscow says at the table and what it does in the sky.
◆ Why it matters
Russia agreed to talk while missiles were already inbound. That tells you the Kremlin sees diplomacy as cover for continued pressure, not a substitute for it. Trump claims progress, but Moscow just demonstrated it will keep hitting targets until the terms suit it. Any deal now gets written under the shadow of live fire.
