HELSINKI (AP) — Finland has moved one step closer to joining NATO after Hungary ratified the Nordic country’s bid on Monday. A similar decision is expected in the coming weeks from Turkey, the only alliance member that hasn’t approved Finland’s membership.
Still, there are specific steps and procedures that are required before Finland becomes the 31st full member of the Western alliance:
ACCEPTANCE LETTERS
Hungary and Turkey - once it has ratified Finland’s bid - dispatch acceptance letters to the United States which is the depositary - or safekeeper - of NATO under the alliance’s 1949 founding treaty. The letters will be filed in the archives of the U.S. State Department which will immediately notify NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg that the conditions for inviting Finland to become a NATO member have been met.
INVITATION
NATO subsequently sends Finland an invitation letter signed by Stoltenberg to join the military alliance.

Mark Hamill lends ‘Star Wars’ voice to Ukrainian air-raid app​

KYIV, Ukraine — “Attention. Air raid alert,” the voice says with a Jedi knight’s gravitas. “Proceed to the nearest shelter.”

It’s a surreal moment in an already surreal war: the grave but calming baritone of actor Mark Hamill, Luke Skywalker of “Star Wars,” urging people to take cover whenever Russia unleashes another aerial bombardment on Ukraine

I don't understand why this WSJ journalist thought it was a good idea to be in Russia at all. :skip:

That's a no go zone. I don't even have to think about it. If someone gave me a first class, roundway ticket to Moscow with all things paid, I would still say no. This mofo is out here trying to report on the local Russian news? :why: Why? Is the apatite for that kind of reporting really that deep?
