Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has said Russia’s intensified strikes on Ukraine over the weekend reveal Moscow’s continued disregard for peace efforts.
Speaking on Monday at a Nordic leaders’ summit in Finland, Frederiksen condemned the latest wave of Russian drone attacks, calling them “the largest” of the war, according to the Ukrainian air force. “During the day Putin talks about negotiations, then he bombs Ukraine during the night,” she told reporters.
Frederiksen emphasized that Russia's actions undermine any claims of pursuing peace, and reaffirmed the Nordic countries’ united stance in supporting Ukraine. “We stand together in our commitment to Ukraine for as long as it takes,” she said.
That support, she added, could take many forms—including continued military aid, joint investments in Ukraine’s defence industry, and enhanced collaboration with Ukrainian companies.
The remarks come amid growing frustration in Europe over what many leaders see as Russia’s use of negotiations as a distraction while continuing its military campaign.
