Russian President Vladimir Putin sent season’s greetings on Dec. 30 to most of the leaders of states neighboring Russia, and to the heads of state of a host of nations further abroad – but not to Ukraine.

The Russian president has not sent such greetings to Ukraine since 2014, when the Kremlin invaded and started its occuption of the Ukrainian territory of Crimea, and then launched its military intervention in Ukraine’s Donbas region. The ensuing war has led to over 10,200 people being killed, tens of thousands more being injured, and over a million people being displaced from their homes.
