Sweden’s NATO membership bid on the agenda as Trudeau, Nordic leaders meet in Iceland​

Sweden’s bid to join the NATO military alliance while a war rages in Ukraine and Russia deals with the fallout from a revolt set the stage Monday for a meeting of Nordic leaders in Iceland, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in attendance.

Trudeau is scheduled to meet privately with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson on the sidelines of the annual Nordic leaders’ summit, which Canada’s leader is attending as a guest.''

''The Nordic nations have all backed Ukraine as it defends itself against Russia’s invasion.

The war, which began more than 16 months ago, also prompted both Sweden and Finland to abandon their decades-long policies of neutrality and apply to join NATO.

Canada was the first to back both bids and Finland was admitted in April, but Turkey and Hungary have both held out approval for Sweden’s acceptance.''

''Saturday’s brief armed revolt in Russia by Wagner Group mercenary leaderYevgeny Prigozhin has loomed large over the gathering in Iceland. It pushed security to the top of the agenda for a group of nations that share the Arctic with Russia and have growing concerns about stability in the region and the effects of climate change.

Scientists say the Arctic is experiencing some of the most acute effects of a warming planet, with defence experts adding the melting ice opens up new access to the region while aggressive powers like Russia and China take note.''

  2. Among the dead are 14-year-old twin sisters Yuliya and Anna Aksenchenko
  3. Kramatorsk is under Ukrainian control but close to Russian-occupied parts of the country
  4. President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia deserved "only defeat and a tribunal, just and lawful courts against all Russian murderers and terrorists"
  5. The Kremlin says it only carries out strikes on military-linked targets
  6. While the rescue efforts continue in Kramotorsk, Ukraine has reportedly been hit by another attack from Russia. According to Kharkiv's regional head, three civilians have been killed in shelling''

''Diners recount deadly attack on pizza restaurant​

“They almost bumped us off,” reflects former Colombia peace negotiator Sergio Jaramillo Caro, who was sitting in the RAI pizzeria in Kramatorsk when it came under attack on Tuesday.

"We suffered only minor injuries," Jaramillo, Colombia’s former High Commissioner of Peace, tells the BBC.

Colombian journalist Catalina Gomez, and leading novelist and editor Héctor Abad Faciolince were all eating dinner at the same table when Russian missiles slammed into the popular restaurant.

They are in Ukraine gathering information for their organisation "¡Aguanta Ucrania!" which campaigns to strengthen the solidarity of Latin American countries with Ukraine.

But a leading Ukrainian writer sitting with them, whose identity is not being disclosed, is “now fighting for her life,” Caramillo says. “She's in a critical condition."

“Please pray for her,” he pleaded.''
