She stated that the most important red line has already been crossed – it happened when the Russians invaded Ukraine.
The Prime Minister of Denmark believes that the West has played into Putin’s hands with discussions about “red lines”/ photo REUTERSUkraine’s allies should end the debate about Putin’s “red lines” and allow Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with Western weapons. This was stated by the Prime Minister of Denmark, Mette Frederiksen, in an interview with Bloomberg Television in Copenhagen.“I propose to stop the discussion of ‘red lines’… It was a mistake during this war to have a public discussion of ‘red lines’ because it just gives the Russians too good cards in their hands,” she said.
She also added that delays in the supply of weapons must stop.
“And I think that the restrictions on the use of weapons should be lifted,” said the Danish prime minister.
Frederiksen also dismissed any suggestion that allowing Ukraine to use Western weapons for long-range strikes against Russia would lead to an escalation that would drag Kyiv’s allies into the war.
“The most important red line has already been crossed. And it happened when the Russians invaded Ukraine. Therefore, I will not accept this premise and will never allow anyone from Russia to decide what is right to do in NATO, in Europe or in Ukraine,” she said.
Frederiksen also said that achieving peace would require the consent of both sides, and there was no question of allowing Russia to take over all or part of Ukraine. She is also skeptical that the talks will convince Putin.
“When you look at the behavior of Russia, not only in Ukraine, but also in the Western Balkans, when you look at the behavior in the Middle East, in Africa, in the Sahel region, I see Russia trying to destabilize this world,” Frederiksen said. – “This opinion that if we allow it to take over Ukraine or parts of Ukraine, then it will be satisfied – I do not agree with it.”
Russia is looking for ways to pressure the WestAs WP wrote, the Kremlin realizes that its tactics of intimidating the West with nuclear weapons are losing their effectiveness. Now Vladimir Putin must come up with new tools to protect his “red lines”.
At the same time, Edward Lucas, a senior researcher at the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA), wrote that Europe is stuck in a comfort zone, and its empty threats do not stop the Russian Federation. At the same time, allowing Ukraine to strike the Russian Federation with Western weapons or criminal prosecution of Russia’s Western aids would be one of the ways to retaliate against Russia, he believes.
