The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) says that operations in Ukraine are underfunded and that it may be difficult to help the vulnerable during the winter.
UNHCR’s representative in Ukraine, Swedish Karolina Lindholm Billing, says that support may be necessary for vulnerable areas in Ukraine, as Russian invasion forces direct attacks against infrastructural targets such as power plants, energy networks and electricity supply. This affects the population at large, but internally displaced persons are particularly vulnerable.
– The reality is that the financial support for organizations like ours is far too low this late in the (fiscal) year, says Lindholm Billing, adding that the business is only covered financially to 47 percent.
Around 3.6 million internally displaced people are estimated to be in Ukraine. Further refugees are expected to find their way to the west of the country due to the Russian offensive in Donetsk, among others. Since August 1, nearly 99,000 people have fled villages at the front, according to Lindholm Billing.

One of the government’s most important goals during the term is to build new nuclear power in Sweden.
The government wants new nuclear power with an output equivalent to at least two large-scale reactors to be in place by 2035 at the latest.

The German government will not give any new money to the struggling battery company Northvolt, which is building a factory in Heide in central Germany, reports Dagens Nyheter.
The German government has already contributed the equivalent of ten billion kroner to the plant in Heide.
“Since Northvolt is a Swedish company and the current problems are related to scaling up the Swedish facility, the issue of German support, in addition to the funding Northvolt has already promised for the project in Heide, is not relevant,” writes a spokesperson for German business and the Climate Ministry in an email to DN.
The Swedish government has stated that it is not appropriate to invest money in Northvolt.

The trust in Anna Kinberg Batra as governor, and by extension the entire county board, is threatened. That is what the trade union ST believes.
They are now demanding that the government take a decision to depose her.
– The government has the tool to solve the situation, it must be used now. Otherwise, trust in the state administration risks being eroded, says union president Britta Lejon in a press release.
The demand comes after JO gave the governor scathing criticism.
– With the statement from JO, there is no room to repair the damaged trust. For the sake of both the staff and the public, the County Administrative Board in Stockholm needs a new manager, says Lejon further.
