Heavy fighting continues in eastern Ukraine, with a child among seven people injured in the city of Lozova after Russian missiles hit a cultural center on Friday.
US President Joe Biden has signed a $40 billion emergency aid package to Ukraine. The bill was flown to Seoul, South Korea, where Biden is on his first Asia trip as President this weekend.
Russia halted natural gas exports to Finland on Saturday, according to Finnish state-owned energy firm Gasum.
