This is CNBC’s live blog tracking developments on the war in Ukraine.
See below for the latest updates.

The Group of 20 meeting in Bali began earlier on Tuesday and the war in
Ukraine has already taken center stage at the summit, much to Russia’s annoyance.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the summit virtually earlier Tuesday and outlined what he called a “Ukrainian formula for peace,” with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov among those in
attendance at the meeting in place of President Vladimir Putin.

Zelenskyy said “there is a set of solutions that can be implemented to
really guarantee peace.”

Russia’s Foreign Ministry said on Sunday that the G-20 summit should
focus on global economic challenges rather than security issues.

Meanwhile, missiles crossed into Poland, reportedly killing two people
and setting off a chain of reactions across the globe. The Associated
Press reported that they were Russian, attributing it to two anonymous
sources. Ukraine officials were quick to blame Moscow, which denied any involvement.

Other world leaders were more restrained in assigning blame, saying they
needed more information to determine the cause of the strike.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called for an “immediate” NATO summit following an AP report that Russian missiles crossed into Poland.

“Ukraine reaffirms its full solidarity with Poland and stands ready to provide any necessary support. The collective response to Russian
actions must be tough and principled,” Kuleba wrote on Twitter.


Kuleba also called for F-15 and F-16 fighter jets and modern air defense systems.

“Today, protecting Ukraine’s skies means protecting NATO,” he added.

The White House said that it was unable to confirm an AP report that a
Russian missile crossed into Poland’s territory.

“We’ve seen the reports out of Poland and are working with the Polish government to gather more information,” Adrienne Watson, National
Security Council spokesperson said in a statement.

Watson added that National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan spoke with
Chief of the National Security Bureau of Poland Jacek Siewiera.

“We cannot confirm the reports or any of the details at this time. We
will determine what happened and what the appropriate next steps would
be,” Watson added.

Russian missiles crossed into the NATO ally’s territory.
