liberated a number of towns near kharkiv. the region where they reported the civilian killed has seen several explosions. the cause is missiles and bombs. ukraine has not confirmed nor denied responsibility for the blast. another major development is finland joining nato possibly. they agreed to assist each other militarily should either country face attack. finland shares an 800 mile border with russia. finland s president will contact vladimir putin if that should happen. if that will be the case, what my response would be that you caused this. vladimir putin s profile. critics made a daring escape from russia. she ll tell us how she managed to get out. we ll start of the report of the russian civilian killed. scott mcclain. scott, since the first time this war began in february, what do we know? reporter: anderson, yeah. as you mentioned earlier, this is an area where ukrainians have been making progress in taking towns and villages around kharkiv. in those areas they
