The Orthodox Christians of Ukraine have decided to move the calendar day of Christmas Day to December 25, reports The Guardian.
Traditionally, the day has been celebrated on January 7, like other Orthodox Christian countries.
The change is made to distance itself from Russia, which until now celebrated the same day.
In February, the Catholic Church in Ukraine made a similar change.
Russia states that three unmanned Ukrainian motor boats tried to attack a Russian warship in the Black Sea, writes The Guardian.
The warship “Ivan Hurs” was on its way to the Bosphorus and had the task of protecting the gas pipelines Turkstream and Blue Stream, writes the Russian Ministry of Defense in a press release.
The driverless motorboats must have been destroyed.
Ukraine has not commented on the allegations.

Those of you who find it difficult to sit still at the club can breathe a sigh of relief on July 1.
The license to dance in bars and nightclubs will then be removed, the Riksdag decided today.
Several members described the change in the Rules of Procedure as a freedom reform, writes TT.
Today, bar owners risk losing their license to serve if there is spontaneous dancing at the bar counter.
– It is therefore illegal to keep the beat when the body is bursting with some nice notes in the background, said moderator Charlotte Nordström.
All parties were in favor of abolishing the permit requirement.
However, permission will still be required to organize dances in public places such as parks and squares.

How does it feel to be dictators on the internet, choosing which questions appear here that you have some kind of iq to be able to answer or feel responsible for and then post snarky comments that no one can counter-argue against?
News story day week
It’s hard to feel a bit of a dictator rush from occasionally answering questions about one’s work in a small and rather hidden “Ask the Editor column”… if that’s what you mean?
In the headline about the billion-dollar deal, it says that 246 military vehicles are being bought by Sweden, but in article 90. What is correct?
Rolf
Hi Rolf! The Czech Republic buys 246 Swedish vehicles of the type “Stridsfordon 90”.
Combat vehicle 90 is a tracked combat vehicle where the gunner sits in a rotating turret, here you can read more about it.
when a few bombs go off in Russian cities, revolution is afoot. When bombs go off every night in Swedish cities, it’s a bit of gang activity. Give up AB, you are pathetic

Hello Crypto! We in the newsroom do not interpret what happens based on a feeling or opinion. What we report is based on information from relevant sources. Also don’t know where you find that we call explosions “a bit of gang mischief”? Have a nice day!
Gets so annoyed at articles about “hungry children”. A “poor” mother only has 9000 left to live on after the rent. I have SEK 2,000 left when the bills are paid (live in a serviced building where the rent is SEK 11,000). Why are only families with children “poor”?
kerstin frazen
Hi Kerstin! It is of course not only families with children who are poor and we have written about other people who have been affected. And also sorry for your tough seat. But children can be considered particularly vulnerable as they themselves cannot take responsibility for their situation, are dependent on adults and cannot be expected to understand their situation in the same way as adults.
Probably heard an explosion, I live in Täby, at 01:57, what’s going on?
