The latest developments in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. All times EDT:
2:00 a.m.: Russian citizens may express their discontent with the way the war against Ukraine is going, the British defense ministry predicted Monday, based on the number of casualties Russian forces have suffered.
"Russia has likely suffered a similar death toll to that experienced by the Soviet Union during its nine year war in Afghanistan," The ministry said in its daily update posted on Twitter.
1:30 a.m.: The U.N.'s refugee agency said conflict, violence, human rights violations and persecution around the world, including the war in Ukraine following Russia's invasion, have driven more than 100 million people from their homes in total.
"100 million refugees and displaced people are a terrible indicator of the state of our world," U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi said Monday in a Twitter post.
1:00 a.m.: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said his country is interested in a major gas exploitation project in Senegal as he began a three-nation visit to Africa on Sunday that also is focused on the geopolitical consequences of the war in Ukraine. The Associated Press has the story.
12:30 a.m.: During U.S. President Joe Biden's visit to Japan this week, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told Biden Monday that Russia's invasion of Ukraine "undermines the foundation of global order," The New York Times reported.
"We can in no way allow whatsoever such attempts to change the status quo by force wherever it may be in the world," Kishida said.
