Russia Freezes Finnish Embassy Bank Accounts, Prompting Diplomatic Tensions

Over 1,100 draft-age Russians have fled to Finland to avoid military conscription and are seeking asylum, with thousands more awaiting determination of their fate in several European countries. The Finnish Immigration Service is awaiting the European Union's position on the asylum requests, and other Nordic nations have also decided to wait for EU guidance. Meanwhile, Ukraine's much-anticipated spring counteroffensive "cannot determine the course of the entire war," according to Ukraine's ambassador to NATO, Natalia Halibarenko.
