About this listen

In today's bulletin, we examine a critical audit revealing systemic failures in the Swedish Migration Agency's work permit processing, which has allowed unreliable employers to bypass regulations. We also discuss the Swedish government's controversial decision to scrap the 2030 domestic transport climate target in favor of electrification goals. Finally, we report on the Nordic-Baltic Eight's renewed military aid pledge to Ukraine during a summit in Kyiv, marking three years since the full-scale invasion.

Keywords:
• Arbetstillstånd: [ar-behts-till-stend] Work permit. An official document allowing a foreign citizen to work in Sweden, currently under scrutiny for oversight failures.
• Klimatmål: [klee-maht-mohl] Climate goal. Environmental targets set by the government, specifically the debated 2030 target for the transport sector.
• Försvarsstöd: [fur-svars-stuhd] Defense support. Military aid provided to a country, such as the new air defense and ammunition packages pledged to Ukraine.
