On the battlefield, Ukraine said its troops were pushing back Russian forces around the second-largest city of Kharkiv, as airstrikes hit the Chernihiv region further north.Finland’s leaders seek to join NATO ‘without delay’ after Ukraine invasionHere’s what else to knowNews•News•News•A former Chinese ambassador to Ukraine has delivered an unusually critical assessment of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that recognized the clear signs of defeat for Russian troops and the threat of President Vladimir Putin’s empire-building agenda for European security.In remarks delivered to an internal forum at the state-run Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Gao Yusheng, who served in Ukraine from 2005 to 2007, described the Russian war effort as headed toward defeat, undermined by the failures of Putin’s economic, military and political policies.“Every day the war continues to extract a heavy cost on Russia,” he said, according to a report of his remarks in Hong Kong-based Phoenix media published on Tuesday. She announced initiatives to deepen cooperation between Tokyo and Brussels on technology, manufacturing and security in a bid to move from their dependence on Russia and China for key imports involving energy and semiconductors.“Like the European Union, Japan understands what is at stake here — not just Ukraine’s future, not just Europe’s future, but the future of a rules-based world order,” von der Leyen said.Russian forces have used at least six types of cluster munitions inside Ukraine in attacks that caused hundreds of civilian casualties and violated international prohibitions on indiscriminate weapons, Human Rights Watch said in a new report Wednesday.The exact number of Russian cluster munition attacks is not known, the New York-based rights group said, but hundreds have been reported or documented since the start of the war.Most incidents have taken place in Ukraine’s southern and eastern regions, including in populated areas. We will win now, too.”Finland’s top leaders said Thursday that their country should seek to join NATO as soon as possible — an extraordinary move that demonstrates the far-ranging effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.“Finland must apply for NATO membership without delay,” Finnish President Sauli Niinisto and Prime Minister Sanna Marin said in a statement that comes after weeks of discussions about whether the traditionally nonaligned nation should join the defense alliance and a day after Helsinki signed a mutual security agreement with London.A green light from Finland’s leaders is the first step toward a formal application, with the proposal also requiring approval from the country’s Parliament.“NATO membership would strengthen Finland’s security. One person was killed and three were injured.Russia’s withdrawal of some units from the region is a tacit recognition of its inability to capture key Ukrainian cities where the Kremlin expected limited resistance, the ministry said.On Wednesday, Ukraine’s military said it had retaken the town of Pytomnyk, about a dozen miles north of Kharkiv.Russian forces did not strike at the city itself on Wednesday, its governor said on Telegram, but said “the settlements of the region are suffering from the shelling.”If Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion reach Britain via Ireland without travel documents, they could be caught up in a contentious new plan under which migrants who don’t meet strict asylum criteria will be flown 4,000 miles to Rwanda for possible resettlement there, U.K. lawmakers have been told by a top immigration official.British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the Rwanda plan as part of a crackdown on smuggling routes across the English Channel. The measure, which is based on a 1941 law used to aid U.S. allies during World War II, will give Biden more unilateral authority to send military equipment and supplies to Ukraine, expediting the process.The bill “is important and even historic,” Zelensky said.“Simply put,” he said, “lend-lease is a scheme to give us everything we need for defense.”Russian airstrikes hit critical infrastructure — including administrative and residential buildings — in the northern city of Novgorod-Siversky overnight, killing three people and wounding 12 others, Ukraine’s state emergency service told local media Thursday.Also destroyed in the Russian attacks were schools, wrote Vyacheslav Chaus, the regional governor of Chernihiv, on his official Telegram channel.
