Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 1,019

Here are the key developments on the 1,019th day of the Russia-Ukraine war.

Here is the situation on Monday, December 9:

United States President-elect Donald Trump has called for an immediate ceasefire and negotiations between Ukraine and Russia to end “the madness”, prompting Zelenskyy and the Kremlin to list their conditions.

In an interview with NBC News, Trump also said the incoming administration would reduce aid to Ukraine, which the US has been steadfastly backing since its invasion by Russia in 2022.

The Kremlin said Russia was open to talks on Ukraine after Trump’s call for a ceasefire. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said negotiations had to be based on agreements reached in Istanbul in 2022 and on the current battlefield realities.
