  • Zelensky’s warning: It will happen if Bachmut falls

    Russian troops will have an “open road” to more cities in eastern Ukraine if Bachmut falls. President Zelensky delivers that warning in an interview with CNN.

    – This is tactical for us, he says.

    The battle for Bachmut has been going on since the summer. Military experts have questioned the strategic importance of the city, stating that it is symbolism rather than tactics that drives the Russian forces, particularly the private army Wagner.

    But Zelenskyy thus defends that Ukraine is resisting:

    – We realize that after Bachmut they can go to Kramatorsk, to Sloviansk, to other cities in the Donetsk region. They get an open street.

  • Employees at the embassy in Nairobi are being investigated

    Two employees at the Swedish embassy in Nairobi are being investigated, report SVT News.

    According to SVT, it is about two separate cases. In one case, it concerns a Sida employee who is suspected of having leaked sensitive information and who has been called home to Stockholm.

    The Danish Development Agency has launched an internal investigation and describes what happened as an “irregularity”.

    In the second case, it concerns a local employee at the embassy who is suspected of embezzling large sums. That person must have terminated their employment on their own initiative before the investigation began.

    Both men deny the allegations. (TT)

  • Three countries regained the right to vote in the UN

    Several countries have regained the right to vote in the UN General Assembly since they partially paid off their debts. This was announced by the chairman Csaba Korösi on Tuesday.

    The countries that got the right to vote back were Lebanon, Gabon and South Sudan.

    In October, the General Assembly adopted a resolution allowing São Tomé and Príncipe, the Comoros and Somalia to vote until September despite excessive debts to the UN. The reason is the unrest that surrounds the three countries.

    Thus, only Venezuela currently has its right to vote suspended. (TT)

  • Hello editorial So it was a wild after-party last night again, I’m trying again to get an answer to who is responsible for the liquor bill, maybe Tobbe was in on a corner so he might know or is it that simple that they brought liquor themselves??

    food

    Hi Matt!

    I have spoken to the entertainment department and received an answer to your question.

    It is not SVT that stands for any “alcohol bill” at Melodifestivalen’s after parties. The after parties are organized by Live Nation, they are the ones who put on the arena show and also sell the tickets to the audience, so the after parties are funded through this. But there is no free booze at Melodifestivalen’s after-parties. Guests receive a drink ticket whenever they arrive, which can be exchanged for beer, wine or non-alcoholic options, after which you have to pay for your own drink. So the “liquor notes” end up with those who party wildest simply, greets Aftonbladet’s Mello reporter Tobbe Ek.

  • 1. Can a government be removed due to no confidence? And because they lied about pretty much all the election promises that a government even went to election on together?

    2. How to do it?

    Ouch

    Hello! In order to remove a government, the Riksdag can direct a motion of no confidence against the prime minister. It is required that more than half of the Riksdag’s 349 members vote for the Prime Minister to be impeached in order for him to be dismissed. This happened in the summer of 2021, when Stefan Löfven was deposed. However, he was reinstated shortly afterwards.

    But we citizens cannot remove a government, but it must be done through the Riksdag.
