Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stated that a peace agreement could be more dangerous for Ukraine than the ongoing war. The United States is creating "great uncertainty," and Putin cannot be trusted, according to DR.
"I understand that many people believe that a peaceful solution or a ceasefire is a good idea, but we risk that peace in Ukraine is actually more dangerous than the war that is ongoing now," Frederiksen said.
While the United States and President Donald Trump have begun a process aimed at ending the war against Ukraine, Frederiksen stated that she does not trust Vladimir Putin or his intentions.
"I have to be honest and say that I do not believe in Putin. I do not think he wants peace in Ukraine," said the Prime Minister.
According to her, the United States is creating "great uncertainty" regarding the war against Ukraine, NATO, and Europe.
"I no longer feel the same confidence in the Americans as before. I never assumed that the time with Trump-2 would be the same as with Trump-1, but I think everyone was surprised by the speed with which uncertainty emerged on the American side, and we will have to respond to this," said Denmark’s Prime Minister.
According to a poll conducted by the Rating Sociological Group on February 20-21, an absolute majority (83%) of respondents believe that Ukraine should agree to a ceasefire only if security guarantees are provided.
According to the poll, 91% of respondents oppose negotiations between the U.S. and Russia to end the war without Ukraine's participation.
At the same time, a significant portion of Ukrainians (64%) support direct negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, and this figure is increasing over time.
The majority of respondents (81%) consider a compromise solution through negotiations with the involvement of other countries to be a realistic way to end the war.
