“On Tuesday, the Social Democrats’ party leader Magdalena Andersson will meet with the Speaker Andreas Norlén to update him on the progress of forming a new government. There are two possible outcomes of the meeting, reports SVT Nyheter.

One is that the S-leader will be given more time to find a government basis. This could, for example, involve her requesting it herself or the Speaker considering it necessary.

The other option is to proceed to a prime minister vote as soon as possible. Several media outlets report that a first vote could take place as early as the end of the week.

– We are approaching a prime minister vote, the only question is when it will happen, says the channel’s political reporter Julia Lindvall.”

“Political scientist: Magdalena Andersson neither seen, heard, nor succeeds in forming a government

The decline in trust for Magdalena Andersson is mainly due to two things: that she has kept a low profile after the election and that there is no new government in place. This says the Social Democrat-affiliated political scientist Ulf Bjereld to SvD.

– She has not been seen or heard much, nor said anything remarkable.

In Novus’s latest poll, 35 percent stated that they had a lot or quite a lot of trust in Andersson, a decrease of eleven percentage points compared to the previous poll.

Today, Andersson will inform Speaker Andreas Norlén about the progress of forming a government. There may be a first prime minister vote at the end of the week.”

They also managed to clear the forests between Pyskunivka and Kryva Luka from earlier Russian infiltrators and established control over the forests southeast of Pyskunivka.

Russian forces are attempting to clear the positions in northern Kryva Luka previously entered by Ukrainian soldiers who crossed the Siverskyi Donets River. Despite this, some isolated Russian DRG infiltrations into the vicinity of Mykolaivka continue.

To the southeast, Russian forces recaptured some positions in the treelines east of Rai-Oleksandrivka previously infiltrated by Ukrainian soldiers, and expanded their zone of control in the eastern part of the town and in the treelines to the north.

Fighting is now ongoing for the central streets of Rai-Oleksandrivka, where a large grey-zone remains with each side holding mixed and overlapping positions.

To the southwest, Ukrainian forces cleared the large grey-zone between the villages of Vasylivka Putosh, Zapovidne, Orikhuvatka, and Yurkivka, before re-establishing control over Zapovidne and advancing further east to the Siverskyi-Donets Canal.

Ukrainian infiltrators are now attempting to cross the canal along the highway towards Dibrova and Minkivka, while simultaneously trying to recapture Yurkivka where a grey-zone remains.

To the south, the Ukrainians cleared the large grey-zone in the fields near Pershomarivka and Vasyutynske, recapturing the latter, and re-entering the villages of Malynivka and Tykhonivka.

At the same time, a larger scale operation is underway further south, where, after regaining control over the large grey-zone west of Novomarkove, Ukrainian forces recaptured the strongpoints northwest of the village, which they are now using to accumulate and cross the Siverskyi-Donets Canal.

After crossing this canal, Ukrainian forces are entering Minkivka and the adjacent strongpoints, where several footholds have been established, and are now attempting to advance further east.

Some forward Ukrainian infiltrators even managed to carry out a deep infiltration for roughly 12 km northeast through Holubivka towards the outskirts of Nykyforivka.

Meanwhile, Russian forces improved their positions slightly through the treelines northwest of Markove and continued attacking in the area of Fedorivka. + ~86.10 km² in favour of Ukraine. + ~8.15 km² in favour of Russia **
