THE ESSENTIAL

  • Russia on Monday accused Ukraine of attacking it, including launching a drone against an air base in Russian territory, hundreds of kilometers from the front, the second such operation this month.

  • Vladimir Putin ruled on Sunday that the West was seeking to "divide and conquer", justifying the Kremlin's military offensive against Ukraine which has lasted for more than ten months by, according to him, "the union of the Russian people".

  • In Ukraine, millions of civilians have to live, in the middle of winter, with only a few hours of electricity per day.

    A large part of the population is also faced with cuts in district heating and running water.

    Some nine million Ukrainians thus remained Monday evening without electricity, according to Volodymyr Zelensky.

  • On Monday, Ukraine called on the United Nations "to deprive the Russian Federation of its status as a permanent member of the UN Security Council and to exclude it from the UN as a whole".
