During a recent press conference with the Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen expressed concern that the conflict in Ukraine is no longer isolated within the country’s borders but is spreading to other parts of Europe through Russian hybrid attacks. Frederiksen emphasized that these attacks are likely to target critical infrastructure and other key areas, which could have serious consequences for Europe’s security and stability. “We are seeing increasing aggression from Russia,” said Frederiksen, adding that many Europeans may still believe that the war is only happening in Ukraine. However, this is not the case, and it is expected that the hybrid attacks will escalate.
The visit from the Finnish Prime Minister also focused on other important issues such as support for Ukraine, including the delivery of ammunition and air defense, as well as addressing the migration challenges that Europe is facing. This meeting between the two Nordic leaders highlights the serious situation in Europe and the need for a coordinated effort to address the security challenges facing the continent.
