This blog is now closed. Thanks for joining us. These were the updates on the Russia-Ukraine war for Monday, December 26:
- Ukraine’s foreign minister has said that his government is aiming to hold a peace summit by the end of February, around the time of the anniversary of Russia’s invasion.
- Kyiv calls for Russia’s removal from the United Nations, arguing that the seat was initially granted to the USSR in 1991, not the Russian Federation, rendering their membership “illegitimate”.
- The Kremlin says Russian President Vladimir Putin will speak to his Chinese counterpart this week as Russia-China relations take on a more significant role in light of Western sanctions.
- Three military personnel were killed in the falling wreckage of a Ukrainian drone at Russia’s Engels airbase in the Saratov region, Russia’s defence ministry said.
