70 military vehicles disappeared without a trace: "What the hell"
Over 70 military vehicles and material worth many millions have apparently disappeared without a trace from a warehouse run by one of the Swedish Armed Forces' voluntary organizations in Ystad. This is reported by Sydsvenskan.
According to Jan Bohman, communications manager for the southern military area, about 50 power plants and several patrol boats are also missing.
- We see what happens on the other side of the sea. When you see this, then I see red. What the hell is this?
According to Sydsvenskan, the warehouse has been disposed of by the voluntary organization Försvarsutkarna Ystad. In their agreement with the Swedish Armed Forces, it is stated that the equipment may not be donated or resold.
The organization, which now goes by the name Beredskapscenter Fredriksberg, says that they are doing everything to find the missing equipment, but also that the figures stated by the Swedish Armed Forces are too high.
- There couldn't have been 70 vehicles there. It's free imagination, says board member Björn Hårdstedt.

The North Korea crisis
North Korea classifies South Korea as "enemy state"
North Korea has rewritten its constitution and now classifies South Korea as an "enemy state". Thus, they abandon the goal of reunification between the countries, reports the state news agency KCNA according to Reuters.
Pyongyang also confirms that it has blocked road and rail links between the countries as part of a "gradual total separation of the territories".
South Korea says it maintains the official goal of national reunification, but is ready to respond to any aggression from North Korea.

The Canada-India relationship
Trudeau: India has made a terrible mistake
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is escalating the war of words between Canada and India. In a hearing, he says India's violation of Canadian sovereignty is "a terrible mistake."
In a public hearing, Trudeau accused India of rejecting cooperation and fueling the increasingly bitter feud between the countries, which on Monday led to the expulsion of senior diplomats from the countries.
- We are not looking to provoke a fight with India, says Trudeau and continues:
- But we must respond to ensure the safety of Canadians.
Last summer, Canadian citizen and Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot dead in British Columbia. According to Trudeau, the evidence that India is involved in the murder has been strengthened. India has called the allegations "ridiculous".

European asylum policy
Assad "the elephant in the room" when the EU wants to tighten asylum
Migration is at the center when the heads of state and government of the EU countries meet in Brussels today. The trend within the union is a hardening view of migration, writes TT.
For example, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has opened up about sending refugees back to Syria in what she calls a "voluntary, safe and sustainable way". That despite the 13-year long civil war. Politico calls the Syria issue the "elephant in the room" during the summit, as the issue brings to the fore normalized relations with dictator Bashar Assad.
Elsewhere, internal border controls have been introduced. Demands have also been raised to carry out more deportations and find "innovative solutions" for asylum management. Even there, Italy has gone further than others by handling asylum applications in Albania, something that is curiously followed by other EU countries, writes the news agency.

Putin's Russia
"Childlessness ideology" may become a crime in Russia
Russia is considering criminalizing "childlessness ideology," the independent Moscow Times reports.
One of the advocates is Russian Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, who recently argued in the lower house of the Duma:
- Infertility propaganda is a dangerous social phenomenon. The Americans favor it. Our country is huge and their ideology is dangerous. Under no circumstances should it be allowed to spread.
The bill has been approved in the first of three rounds in parliament. It would mean fines for all material online, in the media or advertising that is considered to portray a child-free lifestyle as something attractive, writes The Independent.
