Russia is already waging a campaign against Denmark and Western countries, trying to sow internal divisions among allies so that they reduce their support for Ukraine, according to Thomas Ahrenkiel, director of the Danish military intelligence service.

Intelligence from Denmark

Russia is using military means, including aggressive ones, to put pressure on Denmark without crossing the line into armed conflict.

"Russia wants to create uncertainty and internal divisions among allies so that we stop supporting Ukraine and do not allow us to make decisions that contradict their interests and further damage Russia's economy," said the director of the Danish military intelligence service.

According to Ahrenkiel, Russia is using means against Denmark that would have been unthinkable before the war in Ukraine.

Armed Forces of Ukraine and European partners interaction

Ukraine is expanding its cooperation with NATO in intelligence and long-range strikes. Britain is already involved in operations against Russia at Washington's request.

Earlier, RBC-Ukraine, citing EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas, reported that European states plan to send military instructors to Ukraine as part of the EUMAM training mission to train the Ukrainian army. But this will only happen after the war ends and will be part of the security guarantees.
