Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen reiterated Thursday in a video clip posted on social media that only one country "poses a threat to Europe's security -- and that's Russia"."
""We have been very vocal and very aggressive vis-a-vis Russia," Peter Viggo Jakobsen, an associate professor at the Royal Danish Defence College, told AFP, recalling Denmark's strong support for Ukraine since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. "And of course that annoys Russia. So in that sense, it's obvious that Denmark has been targeted," he said. READ ALSO: 'Easy victim'"
