Finland has refused to schedule a hockey match against Russia while the Ukraine war continues, per Helsinki Times.

The decision follows a ruling by the International Ice Hockey Federation that allows Russia's participation in international competitions despite the ongoing conflict.

Meanwhile, cyberattacks have targeted supermarket refrigeration systems across Europe, Bloomberg reports, raising concerns about digital infrastructure security.
