Russia-Ukraine updates: Putin suspends key US-Russia nuclear treaty in speech denouncing West
President Vladimir Putin said he'd sought an "open dialogue" with the West.
Almost a year after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of neighboring Ukraine, the two countries are engaged in a struggle for control of areas throughout the east and south.
Putin's forces pulled out of key positions in November, retreating from Kherson as Ukrainian troops led a counteroffensive targeting the southern port city. Russian drones have continued bombarding civilian targets throughout Ukraine, knocking out critical power infrastructure as winter sets in.

Polish police share photo of large crater from missile
Poland's national police force posted an image on Twitter on Wednesday purportedly showing the site of Tuesday's missile blast, which left two people dead.
The photo showed authorities collecting evidence from a large crater in the ground, alongside debris and a destroyed vehicle.
The Polish Police said in the tweet that its "officers have been securing the area" since the blast happened in the southeastern village of Przewodow, which is close to the border with Ukraine. An investigation into the incident is ongoing, but Polish President Andrzej Duda said Wednesday that the projectile was "probably a Russian-made S-300 missile" and, so far, appeared to be an "unfortunate accident."
Kremlin notes 'reserved and far more professional reaction' from US to missile incident
Russia on Wednesday noted the "reserved and far more professional reaction" of the United States compared with other countries following Tuesday's missile blast that killed two people in Poland.
"In this case, one should take note of the reserved and far more professional reaction of the American side and the American president," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters during a press briefing in Moscow.
Peskov said the U.S. government’s reaction "stood in contrast to the absolutely hysterical reaction of the Polish side and a whole number of other countries."
U.S. President Joe Biden said Tuesday that it's "unlikely" the missile was fired from Russia but that he and other leaders of the G-7 and NATO would support Poland's investigation into what happened. Meanwhile, Polish President Andrzej Duda said Wednesday that the projectile was "probably a Russian-made S-300 missile" but that, so far, it appeared to be an "unfortunate accident."
'Unfortunate accident,' Polish president says of missile
The missile that killed two people in Poland on Tuesday was apparently an "unfortunate accident," according to Polish President Andrzej Duda.
Duda said Wednesday that the projectile was "probably a Russian-made S-300 missile," according to The Associated Press.
"At the moment, we have no evidence that it was a missile launched by the Russian side," Duda added. "There are many signs that it was an air defense missile that, unfortunately, fell on the territory of Poland."
Biden says it's 'unlikely' missile that hit in Poland was fired from Russia
Following his meeting with leaders of the G-7 and NATO on Ukraine, President Joe Biden said Tuesday night that it's "unlikely" the missile that hit Poland was fired from Russia, but that the group would support the investigation into what happened.
When asked if it's too early to say whether the missile was fired by Russia, Biden responded: "There is preliminary information that contests that. I don't want to say that till we completely investigate, but it's unlikely in the minds of the trajectory that it was fired from Russia, but we will see."
"I'm going to make sure we find out exactly what happened," Biden said, and then determine the next steps, adding that there was "total unanimity" among leaders today on this decision.
The president added that recent Russian missile attacks were also a point of discussion this morning.
"They have been totally unconscionable, what they are doing, totally unconscionable," he said.
