Latest news – Volvo recalls 12,000 cars

Social Democrats party leader Magdalena Andersson is critical of the government’s handling of NATO, writes SvD.

If she had been Prime Minister herself, she would have done things differently. Among other things, regarding the puppet pretending to be Erdogan that was hanged in Stockholm.

– To say that the doll was sabotage against the Swedish NATO application risks having the opposite effect. If it is clear that this type of action is sabotaging the NATO application, it is clear that it can inspire more action, she tells the newspaper.

Ten top politicians and civil servants are being poked by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after corruption allegations, Kyiv Independent writes.

Ukraine’s Deputy Chief of Staff Kyrylo Tymoshenko, Deputy Defense Minister Vyacheslav Shapovalov, Deputy Prosecutor General Oleksiy Symonenko and the governors of Kyiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhya, Sumy and Dnipropetrovsk regions are all among those allowed to leave their posts.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has so far not commented on the problems surrounding Sweden’s NATO application and Turkey giving Sweden a cold hand.

In a comment, he emphasizes that Sweden and Finland applied for membership at the same time and were invited by all 30 NATO countries.

“All 30 countries invited Finland and Sweden to apply to NATO at the same time and 28 countries have already ratified the accession protocols,” he writes.

He says that it has been the fastest accession process so far in NATO’s history and that the countries’ accession is a high priority for the alliance.

“Both countries already sit at the NATO table and are now closely integrated in our political talks and military activities. I look forward to their full accession to NATO, something that is in everyone’s interest.”

In the morning, a passenger car collided with a truck on national highway 41 in the municipality of Marks.

The driver of the car, a 35-year-old woman, died from her injuries.

Relatives have been notified.

The police have started a preliminary investigation into negligence in traffic.

– The vehicles have been recovered from the scene and a technical examination will be carried out, says Pernilla Henry, the police officer on duty.

Only if Sweden is permanently excluded from NATO, can Finland consider moving forward in the application process alone. The Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto says so DN.

– It is a shame that there will be a delay, but such is life. My estimate now is that the ratification can take place after the Turkish election. And that is a fact that we have to live with, he tells the newspaper.

Regarding the Swedish protests, including the hanging Erdogan doll, Pekka Haavisto says this:

– All countries follow their own laws, and that is what happened in Sweden. Protests like this can happen in any country. But it is of course unfortunate that someone who deliberately wants to delay NATO membership does this kind of provocation.

Pharmaceutical companies should be able to be fined if they do not inform in good time before there is a shortage of a medicine. This is according to a proposal from the government, reports Swedens radio.

This concerns penalty fees of up to SEK 100 million.

Three high-ranking Ukrainian officials are now leaving their posts, after the corruption scandal that rocked the country, TT reports.

Deputy Attorney General Oleksiy Symonenko and Deputy Defense Minister Vyacheslav Shapovalov submit their resignations. However, the Ministry of Defense still calls the accusations baseless.

Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy chief of staff at the Ukrainian presidential office, also announced his resignation.

Today, seven people are charged at the Eskilstuna district court with serious weapons offenses and particularly serious weapons offences, the Prosecutor’s Office writes.

It was on August 20 last year that the police raided a suspected weapons store in central Eskilstuna.

Five people were arrested on the spot and two pistols, silencers and ammunition. Another person was arrested the same day when he tried to hide more weapons and ammunition.

The defendants are seven people, teenagers and men between the ages of 15 and 50.

– It is very gratifying that we have managed to come across a relatively large number of weapons that we believe were intended to be used in the criminal environment in Eskilstuna and Örebro, which has recently been hit hard by gun violence, says Chamber prosecutor Nicklas Hjertonsson in the press release.

During the night, someone shot at an apartment door in Gothenburg.

– A person who lives in the apartment woke up to a loud bang, but discovered that shots had been fired several hours later, just before eight o’clock, says Peter Adlersson, press spokesperson for the police region West.

No one was physically injured, but the police are investigating the incident as attempted murder.

– If you shoot sharply at an apartment door, there is a certain risk that shots will go through and hit someone inside, and therefore it will be attempted murder.

He cannot answer if any shots have gone through the door. The place is cordoned off and the police are carrying out a technical investigation.

They are also investigating whether there may be a threat to the person who lives in the apartment that was shot at.

There are currently no suspects.

Finland’s and Sweden’s joint NATO trip continues, Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto announced at a press conference on Tuesday, writes SvD.

The press conference is about Finland’s and Sweden’s NATO processes.

Earlier on Tuesday morning, the foreign minister opened to continue the Finnish NATO process without Sweden.

But he elaborated on his reasoning at the press conference.

– Finland’s line has not changed, he says, according to EPN.

The American Foreign Minister Antony Blinken called Pekka Haavisto and Tobias Billström during the morning.

According to TT, he called the two foreign ministers 13 minutes apart.

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ spokesperson, Ned Price, underlined the importance of both countries being quickly admitted to NATO.

“The United States urges remaining allies to quickly ratify their (Sweden and Finland’s) accession,” Price said in a statement.
