Finland's Minister for Economic Affairs Wille Rydman
Finland minister says foreign media 'spreading false claims'
HELSINKI — A Finnish government minister has claimed that foreign media is spreading "false claims" about the Nordic nation in an attempt to discredit the government, with critics branding him as a conspiracy theorist for the remarks.Newly-appointed Minister of Economic Affairs Wille Rydman, from the far-right Finns Party, first told public broadcaster Yle on Monday morning that certain people were "spreading false claims" about the government, and the Finnish media should be wary about the role of foreign media when it reports news about Finland.In a separate Yle television interview on Monday evening, Rydman said that international media outlets, including German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, were being given false claims by "various researchers and social...

Lithuania strips Russians of residency permits over 'disloyal views'
VILNIUS — Lithuania has revoked the residency permits of more than 100 Russians living inside the country, deeming some a security threat.In figures shared with Euronews on Monday, the country's Migration Department said it had stripped 38 Russians of their permanent residency in 2022, plus a further 97 so far this year.That's a total of 135 since Russia invaded Ukraine.Despite increasing restrictions, the number of Russians applying for residency permits in Lithuania doubled between 2021 and 2022 to almost 4,000, according to the Migration Department.Many are fleeing the rule of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Ukraine war's fallout.The right to live in Lithuania can be taken away for several reasons, such as if a foreigner commits a "very serious crime",...

Drug donanemab seen as turning point in dementia fight
LONDON —A new drug donanemab is being hailed as a turning point in the fight against Alzheimer’s, after a global trial confirms it slows cognitive decline.The antibody medicine helps in the early stages of the disease by clearing a protein that builds up in the brains of people with this type of dementia.Although not a cure, charities say the work, in the journal JAMA, marks a new era where Alzheimer’s can be treated. The UK’s drugs watchdog has started assessing it for possible NHS use.It works in Alzheimer’s disease, not in other types of dementia, such as vascular dementia. In the trials, it appears to have slowed the pace of the disease by about a third.Mike Colley, who is 80, is one of only a few dozen patients in the UK to take part in the global trial. He and his family...

Russia pulls out of UN-brokered Ukraine grain deal
MOSCOW — Russia said Monday it was suspending its participation in a crucial deal that allowed the export of Ukrainian grain, once again raising fears over global food supplies and scuppering a rare diplomatic breakthrough to emerge from Moscow’s war in Ukraine.The agreement, brokered by Turkey and the United Nations in July 2022, was officially set to expire at 5 p.m. ET on Monday (midnight local time in Istanbul, Kyiv, and Moscow).Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday that Russia would not renew the pact right now, saying it “has been terminated.”Russia has for some time complained that it is being prevented from adequately exporting its own foodstuffs, and Peskov cited that objection as the reason for pulling out of the deal. “As soon as the Russian part...
