News of the Russian attack on Ukraine is dominating the headlines of local newspapers and media outlets, with live updates on the latest developments in this morning's military offensive.
The Danish Foreign Ministry website announced that the Danish embassy in Kyiv is closed for security reasons. The closure comes after the Russian attack on Ukraine.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen wrote on Twitter that “Russia’s actions are completely unacceptable” and that there would be consequences for the Russians.
Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod also strongly condemned the Russian attack on Ukraine, according to a post on Twitter.
This comes after the Russians began attacking Ukraine this morning and announced deaths and injuries on the Ukrainian side. This was preceded by Russia's recognition of separatist regions that had broken away from Ukraine. The Danish Foreign Ministry, on the orders of Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod, summoned the Russian ambassador to Denmark, Vladimir Barbin, to condemn Russia's recognition of two border republics that had broken away from Ukraine.
Update: It was just reported this morning that the Danish Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador, just two days after the first summons, but this time at the highest official level and in a very serious manner regarding the condemnation of the Russian attack on Ukraine.
