Here is the latest from Ukraine:
- President Biden on Saturday signed a $40 billion package of new military and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine. The package includes $20 billion in additional military aid to finance the transfer of advanced weapons systems.
- Russia is continuing intense shelling of the easternmost city under Ukraine’s control, Severodonetsk, which looks set to be the war’s next major battlefield. Six civilians were killed Friday during Russian bombardments, Luhansk governor Serhiy Haidai said.
- Finland’s gas transmission network operator said Saturday that Russia had stopped shipping natural gas to it. The suspension is widely viewed as retaliation after Helsinki formally applied to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
