"Ukraine warns Russia to leave or face destruction as Finland joins NATO"

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned Russian forces to leave Ukraine before the upcoming spring counteroffensive, stating that they will be destroyed if they do not. The counteroffensive has been delayed due to a weapons shortage, including heavy equipment and fighter jets. Slovakia and Poland have pledged fighter jets to Ukraine, but no Western-built fighter jets have been sent yet. The Ukrainian military is likely to launch its counteroffensive in April or May, according to Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov.
