In the past, it has been discussed whether a possible sale could be included in a larger negotiation package, where a Turkish acceptance of Swedish and Finnish NATO membership should be included. Which now turns out not to be the case, TT reports.

US sends combat vehicles to Ukraine
The US is delivering close to 100 Stryker combat vehicles and probably more than 50 Bradley combat vehicles in its new support package to Ukraine. Deputy Defense Secretary Colin Kahl told the AP news agency that the combat vehicles are necessary for Ukraine’s military as Russian invasion forces dig trenches and lay mines:
– To make it possible for the Ukrainians to break through Russian defense lines, efforts must be made so that the Ukrainian military can combine fire and rapid movements.
German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung reports that Chancellor Olaf Scholz is ready to send the Leopard 2 tank to the Ukrainian front if the US sends the Abrams tank.

How much should private households receive in electricity subsidy?
Marianne
Hey! How much you get in support depends on which electricity area you live in, so it’s a bit difficult to answer that in general terms. The payments are based on the consumption you had from October 2021 through September 2022.
