Why do you use the word “ufo” while declaring that you do not know what flying objects are?
Don’t you think that’s misleading?
Hannah
Hey Hanna! Ufo stands for unidentified flying object, so in that way the description is still quite appropriate, I think.
Why do you never mention what happened to the animal when they are involved in traffic accidents? Feels a bit unempathetic…
Anna Grevlund
Hi Anna! We do that in some cases when it is known what happened. At the same time, if it is a serious accident where people have died or been injured, it seems reasonable to focus on that.
Why is SVT’s reporter Bert Sundström leaving Russia? Because of a pension or something else? What is he going to do? Will miss his reporting.
Helena
That Bert Sundström himself says in SVT is that Russia has become increasingly closed and the media more limited.
I think more people feel like you Helena – 20 years in the box makes an impression! We’ll see what Bert Sundström does in the future.
