A Ukrainian defeat would allow Russia to advance into other
parts of Europe, Danish
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Oct. 15.
She reiterated that Ukraine remains an important line of
defense for Europe and that European countries must continue rearming because Moscow
is not seeking peace.
“If we allow Ukraine to fall, I believe it will open the way
for the Russians to advance into other parts of Europe,” Frederiksen said.
“That is why we must continue to view Ukraine as our line of
defense in Europe. If this domino falls, it will, in my view, open the way for
further attacks.”
She also warned that, “unfortunately, Russia does not want
peace with us,” and called on European countries to continue rearming and
supporting Ukraine.
On Sept. 24, Denmark’s Defense Intelligence Service
warned that there was a “small but growing risk” that Russia could launch a
limited military offensive against one or more neighboring NATO countries in
the coming months.
On Oct. 7, Danish officials said Russia had expanded
sabotage operations against Danish companies that supply goods to Ukraine. The
shift indicates a significant escalation in Moscow’s hybrid warfare campaign.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
