Belarusian nuns were supported by a parish in Selånger to collect money for orphans. But according to Sundsvall’s newspaper, the money probably went to the Russian army in Ukraine.
Now the nuns are fighting back against the accusations, which they say are false.
– Obviously not! We are an orthodox church. None of the Orthodox churches or monasteries ever collect money for the army, for the violence, says Sister Anastasia to SVT Västernorrland.

The police are investigating the incident as attempted murder and aggravated weapons offences.

There are no suspects at this time and the police do not know where the crime was allegedly committed.
– We assume that it has happened somewhere in Malmö, says Sara Andersson.

The Green Party will vote no to the government’s proposal to enable Swedish membership in NATO, says Per Bolund, the Green Party’s spokesperson in Ekot’s Saturday interview.
The Green Party will put forward its own proposal that prohibits bringing nuclear weapons into Sweden.
– We want it to be enshrined in law, as it is in Finland, says Per Bolund.
In the government’s bill it is stated that there is no reason for Sweden to have any nuclear weapons or permanent bases in Sweden in peacetime.
– What happens if the next government has a different opinion, will they be allowed to open up for Sweden to have nuclear weapons on Swedish soil? We have no guarantees for that, says Per Bolund.
The costs of hired healthcare staff are increasing sharply
The regions’ costs for hired healthcare personnel increased by 25 percent in 2022 compared to 2021, TT reports.
Of the total rental costs, it made up 4.8 percent last year, according to Sweden’s municipalities and county councils (SKR).
“There have never been more employees in healthcare, while the demand for healthcare personnel has never been greater. The pandemic has put pressure on the operations for a long time, which has affected the employees’ work environment and made it even more difficult for the regions to staff,” says Fredrik Lennartsson, head of the department for care and social care at SKR in a press release.
Plow truck crashed into police car
A plow truck drove straight into a police car in central Bålsta outside Uppsala at 02:00 last night.
The driver is suspected of having been drunk behind the wheel.
– He has removed the entire front of the police car, says Viktor Åkring Dicksved, commander of the police in Region Mitt.
The police car was parked next to a shopping center when it was hit.
The collision was powerful.
– He has had a lower speed, but it has been enough, says Åkring Dicksved.
A preliminary breath test showed signs that the exhaled air contained alcohol, so the driver was accompanied to the police station for further control.
The police car could be driven there, where it was taken out of service. The police patrol escaped unharmed and was able to continue its shift. (TT-Aftonbladet)
Sterile mosquitoes are supposed to help against diseases
Ecuador is to release 100,000 sterile Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in the Galapagos Islands to reduce the prevalence of the mosquitoes that spread zika, dengue and yellow fever.
The measure should give residents better health and reduce the transmission of diseases to tourists. In addition, the use of chemical pesticides can decrease, the responsible authority states.
The project has been going on for six years and included laboratory breeding of mosquitoes and sterilization by radiation. (TT)
