  • Mustchef: Russia is trying to stop Sweden’s NATO membership

    Russia conducts influence campaigns to stop Swedish NATO membership.

    That’s what Thomas Nilsson, head of the Military Intelligence and Security Service, Must, says in an interview with SVT News.

    – They want to influence public opinion and Swedish decision-making, what we usually call the inner important core: our democracy and our way of life that we ourselves have chosen. They try to influence that and they have also tried to influence the application for membership.

    The Kremlin acts both themselves and through intermediaries, according to him.

    An example of influence attempts are statements about “military technical measures” if Sweden joins, according to Nilsson. He does not want to go into whether the anti-NATO demonstrations are part of an influence campaign.

  • Why can’t you find anything about the Syrian refugee man who injured children in France

    ? That should be a pretty big deal right?

  • Why do you always refer to the Ulriksdal area as Järva? Even if it is correct, it is not what it is called by Stockholmers and there are many who associate Järva with other city districts, so it just confuses.

    Mads

    Hi Mads! As a Stockholmer and former reporter in Järva, I agree with you. I think that yesterday it was about the fact that we initially had the police information to go by and that they wrote Järva, but we usually become more specific as soon as we have more information about the incident.

  • When are the police, authorities and politicians going to put their fists on the table so that we stop all shooting deaths. Or should we accept that every day a person is shot to death. That’s enough now!

    exchange email3

    Hello! I think many people share your frustration. Unfortunately, the answer is that it is a problem that is difficult to solve by “banging your fist on the table”. According to estimates, it is believed to take several years to reverse gang crime and shootings.

  • How is the search for the man on the scooter going in Järva? There are police everywhere and helicopters in the air.

    wind

    The police have had a large operation on site during the evening but no one seems to have been arrested yet.

    If we find out anything new, we will update this article.
