Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen:
"Dear @ZelenskyyUA, Denmark proudly stands with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people."

Maybe we can finally dispense with the ‘transparent battlefield’ fallacy. War’s enduring feature, as Clausewitz described, is that it is a human endeavour and that it is full of uncertainty, friction, emotion and surprise. 1/5 🧵

With large exercises like this, the PLA gets three strategic returns:

RUS trussel mod DK på det hybride område falder i og på tværs af tre domæner: Det fysiske domæne, cyberdomænet og det kognitive domæne. Aktiviteter i et af domænerne kan ske isoleret, men de kan også samtænkes med aktiviteter i et eller to andre domæner for større effekt. Det

🇩🇰UM @larsloekke: ”Urokkelig støtte til modige ukrainere efter massive russiske missilangreb mod Kyiv, Odesa, Lviv, Kharkiv og andre byer. Vores støtte fortsætter. Rusland vil blive holdt ansvarlig for aggression og angreb mod civile. Slava Ukraini.” #dkpol

Det var på tide at det blev sagt direkte. Vi skal helt lade være med at føle os overlegne. I det omfang vi er det, hjælper det jo ikke noget, hvis ikke vi vil/tør udnytte den overlegenhed.

PM Frederiksen:
“Congratulations to Ukraine on your Independence Day. Denmark will continue to support your fight against the Russian aggression for as long as it takes - now also with F-16s. Your freedom is our freedom. #standwithukraine.”
