This was CNBC's live blog tracking developments on the war in Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday published his income over a two-year period, as he looks to promote transparency as part of Kyiv's push for European Union membership.
Ukraine formally started the screening process to begin talks over its future membership of the EU on Thursday, and faces stringent conditions to increase transparency and root out corruption.
Zelenskyy has called for all public officials to disclose their incomes, while the U.S. and other allies supporting Ukraine's war effort have sought assurances about the country's efforts.

According to the declaration, the president and his family members received 10.8 million hryvnias ($286,168) in 2021, the last year before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, down 12 million hryvnias from the previous year. The 2021 also included income from the sale of around $142,000 in government bonds.
In 2022, the Zelenskyy family's income dropped further to 3.7 million hryvnias, as income from real estate the president owned fell off in light of the war.
Elsewhere, a Russian missile struck an industrial site in the district of Kremenchuk in central Ukraine on Sunday, after a similar attack the previous day triggered a fire. There were no casualties in either strike, according to Regional Governor Philip Pronin.

Much of last week was dominated by Moscow and Kyiv trading allegations over the shooting down on Wednesday of a Russian military transport plane that was carrying 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war and nine Russians.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday said the aircraft was shot down by Ukrainian air defenses, either on purpose or by mistake, and that preliminary evidence suggested French or U.S. missiles were involved. Putin said in televised comments reported by Reuters that an investigation would be completed in the coming days.
Hungary accuses EU of blackmail over Ukraine aid stand-off
Hungary accused the European Union of blackmail after a leaked document reportedly suggested that the bloc plans to sabotage Budapest's economy if it vetoes fresh aid for Ukraine at a summit later this week.
Hungary's minister for EU affairs took to social media to lambast the paper drawn up by EU officials and cited Sunday by the Financial Times, which said that Brussels has developed a strategy to target Hungary's economic weak spots and undermine investor confidence over its blockade of funds to Kyiv.
"Hungary does not give in to blackmail," Bóka János wrote in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Hungarian foreign minister arrives in Ukraine for 'frank dialogue'
Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó arrived in Uzhhorod, Ukraine, on Monday for talks with senior officials ahead of Thursday's EU summit, at which the bloc hopes Budapest will sign off on a 50 billion euro ($54 billion) aid package to Ukraine.
Andriy Yermak, Ukraine's presidential chief of staff, shared a photograph on X of the two men sitting opposite one another.

Hungary ready to allow EU budget to be used for Ukraine aid package
Hungary has signaled it is open to using the European Union budget to supply an aid package to Ukraine, Prime Minister Viktor Orban's political director confirmed on Monday.
Ahead of an emergency summit on Thursday, Balazs Orban confirmed that Budapest had sent a proposal to Brussels on Saturday indicating that it was ready to compromise on a proposed 50 billion euro ($54 billion) aid package.
The prime minister has long been a vocal critic of the EU's financial and military support for Kyiv and maintained close ties with the Kremlin, previously blocking a revision of the EU budget to include aid for Ukraine in its defense against the Russian invasion.
The Financial Times reported on Sunday that the EU has drawn up plans to sabotage Hungary's economy if Budapest was to thwart a fresh aid package this Thursday.

Zelenskyy publishes two years of income in EU transparency push
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday published his income over a two-year period, as he looks to promote transparency as part of Kyiv's push for European Union membership.
According to the declaration, the president and his family members received 10.8 million hryvnias ($286,168) in 2021, the year before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, down almost 12 million hryvnias from the previous year. The 2021 figure included income from the sale of around $142,000 in government bonds.
In 2022, the Zelenskyy family's income fell to 3.7 million hryvnias due to the "temporary termination of lease agreements on the territory of Ukraine as a result of the beginning of Russia's full-scale aggression."
The family's cash balance at the end of 2022 dropped by almost 1.8 million, while there were no other changes across the two years relating to assets, real estate, vehicles etc.
Ukraine formally started the screening process to begin talks over its future membership of the EU on Thursday, and faces stringent conditions to increase transparency and root out corruption.
Zelenskyy has called for all public officials to disclose their incomes, while the U.S. and other allies supporting Ukraine's war effort, including the International Monetary Fund, have sought assurances about the country's efforts to eradicate corruption.

Putin says Ukraine shot down plane, not clear if deliberately or in error
Russian President Vladimir Putin said a Russian military plane that crashed near the border with Ukraine on Wednesday was shot down by Ukrainian air defences, whether on purpose or by mistake.
Moscow accuses Kyiv of downing the Ilyushin Il-76 plane in Russia's Belgorod region and killing 74 people on board, including 65 captured Ukrainian soldiers en route to be swapped for Russian PoWs. It has not presented proof.
Ukraine has not confirmed or denied whether it shot down the plane and has challenged Moscow's account of who was on board and what happened.
"I don't know if they did it on purpose or by mistake, but it is obvious that they did it," Putin said in televised comments, his first on the crash.
"In any case, what happened is a crime. Either through negligence or on purpose, but in any case it is a crime."
Ukraine disputes Russia's assertion that it was warned in advance that a plane carrying Ukrainian prisoners of war would be flying over Russia's southwestern Belgorod region at that time. It has also said there were discrepancies in a list published by Russian media of the 65 Ukrainians alleged to have been on the aircraft.
Putin said the plane could not have been brought down by Russian "friendly fire" because Russia's air defence systems have safeguards to prevent them attacking their own planes.
"There are 'friend or foe' systems there, and no matter how much the operator presses the button, our air defence systems would not work," he said.
Putin said the missiles fired were mostly likely American or French, but this would be established with certainty in two to three days.
