Finland's President Sauli Niinistö discusses his phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin after Finland announced their intention to join NATO.
Hundreds of 🇺🇦 militaries are currently under fire on the territory of the #Azovstal plant in #Mariupol, without water, food, medicine. They are wounded and blocked from the world. The plant is stormed daily, but 🇺🇦 defenders make an effort to survive.
Polls have found that a majority of Swedes and Finns are currently in favor of joining the military alliance, with Russia's invasion of Ukraine driving public support.
Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons for the sake of world peace. We have then been knocking on NATO’s door, but it never opened. Security vacuum led to Russian aggression. The world owes Ukraine security and we ask states to decide which security guarantees they are ready to provide.
One of Vladimir Putin's justifications for his invasion of Ukraine was that Kyiv might attempt to join NATO and become a threat on Russia's border. That's despite membership of the western military alliance being a distant and uncertain possibility for Ukraine. But NATO could expand to other countries in the region. The war is giving Finland and Sweden a reason to rethink their long-held neutral status.

Call with @SecBlinken on steps to strengthen Ukraine economically and militarily so that we can continue to effectively fight back further Russian attacks. Grateful to the US for the already provided support. More hits on Russia’s economy, financial system, and trade are coming.
With flights to Europe suspended, Russians who want to leave the country have few options.
One route that is still available is the train to Finland.
Around 5,000 Russians have made the journey in the last 10 days.
As Al Jazeera's Paul Rhys reports from Helsinki, some do not know if they will return home.
Поскольку рейсы в Европу приостановлены, у россиян, желающих покинуть страну, мало вариантов. Один маршрут, который все еще доступен, - это поезд в Финляндию. Около 5000 россиян совершили путешествие за последние 10 дней. Как сообщает корреспондент Al Jazeera Пол Рис из Хельсинки, некоторые не знают, вернутся ли домой.

GENEVA — The United Nations human rights office said
