Johnson: “Putin threatened me with a missile”
Just before the Russian invasion, then British Prime Minister Boris Johnson had a long phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to Johnson, Putin was friendly and relaxed – even when also expressing a direct threat.
– She threatened me at one point and said: “Boris, I don’t want to hurt you, but with a missile it would only take a minute”, says Boris Johnson to the BBC.
In the conversation, Johnson told Putin that a war in Ukraine would lead to sanctions against Russia and more NATO soldiers near the country’s borders.
However, Johnson adds that he does not believe the threat was literal.
– Judging from the very relaxed tone and the fact that he seemed to have a kind of distance, I think he was just messing with my attempts to get him to negotiate.

John Bolton was an advisor to former US President Donald Trump.
IN Svt’s Agenda he raises reasons for excluding Turkey from the NATO defense alliance.
Partly Turkey’s purchase in 2017 of the Russian air defense system S-400.
– The purchase of the S-400 air defense system is practically an exit from NATO, says the American politician.
But Bolton also raises Turkey’s reluctance to accept Sweden and Finland as members of NATO as a reason, writes SVT.
– The clause rebus sic stantibus in international law allows almost anything. Turkey can choose whether it wants to join NATO. Or we can dissolve NATO and reconstitute it. There are many ways to solve it, says Bolton.

Turkey is open to accepting Finland in NATO, says President Erdogan according to AFP.
The message came during a speech in the city of Bilecik on Sunday evening Swedish time.
According to the president, it is not relevant for Sweden to join NATO before the government decides on the extradition of “the terrorists” that Turkey wants extradited.
– They make a mockery of themselves. We can give a different message about Finland if needed. Sweden will be shocked, Erdogan said in his speech, according to the news agency CNN Turkey.

If I don’t want to open an account in Swedbank, will I still get the money?
Nathalie Thor
You do not need to open an account with Swedbank, just register your bank account (regardless of which bank you have), to receive the electricity subsidy.
If you do not want to register your account, and do not receive a general pension from the Pensions Authority, you will receive a payment notice sent home.
Is it true? Noticed that an account with the pension authority is ok?
Claes
That’s right, if you have an account with the Pension Authorities, the electricity subsidy is paid out in connection with the pension.
“You who receive a general pension from the Pensions Authority do not have to do anything, you receive the money into your account as you usually receive your pension,” Swedbank writes on its website.
Yes, so I’m going to register in Swedbank’s account register for electricity support, but how do I do it then?

Ursula
Hey! It worked temporarily, but as you write, the bank’s services seem to be down again. We are looking for Handelsbanken’s press service and hope to be able to update you soon on how things are going.
Do you have to have an account with Swedbank in order to be paid out?
Bernie
No, but you must register your account, depending on which bank you have, in Swedbank’s account register if you want the electricity subsidy money as soon as possible.
