He declined to say what those measures would be.
He said an application would lead to tensions at Finland’s 1,340-kilometer border with Russia, including the possibility of “robust” border and territorial violations — not just by Russian aircraft, as Finland has experienced in the past. Maria Shevchenka, a 43-year-old from Mykolaiv, said that “we are waiting for them to help us end this crisis, so that finally we can return back to our country and our homes.”Biden, who was in Warsaw on Saturday, dropped in on a meeting between U.S. and Ukrainian foreign policy and defense leaders.LVIV, Ukraine -- The governor of the Kyiv region says that Russian forces have entered the city of Slavutych and seized a hospital there.
