Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has strongly criticized Richard Jomshof, a top official from the Sweden Democrats, for calling Magdalena Andersson and Anders Lindberg 'quislingar,' deeming the statements 'indecent and distasteful.'
Moscow Patriarch Kirill has stated that divine grace aided the USSR in creating the atomic bomb and that war is an act pleasing to God, legitimizing these actions through a religious lens.

The board of First Water and Eggert Þór Kristófersson, the company's CEO, have agreed that Kristófersson will step down, with Einar Örn Ólafsson, former CEO of Play, taking over the position.
