This is CNBC's live blog tracking developments on the war in Ukraine. See below for the latest updates.
NATO's Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Sunday that "Ukraine can win this war" following an informal meeting of the group. His comments came after Finland announced it would apply to join the military alliance in what marks a historic move for the traditionally neutral Nordic country. Sweden is expected to follow suit with both applications likely to enflame tensions between NATO and Russia further. Moscow warned last week of "retaliatory steps" if Finland joined the alliance.Ukrainian forces say they have pushed back the Russian military in the region around Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine, and near the border with Russia.
On Sunday, Ukraine's military said it is preparing for more Russian attacks around Izyum, a city to the south of Kharkiv that's become a focus of fighting in recent days.
