Messages to Russia and America: Denmark supports the participation of its soldiers in peacekeeping in Ukraine if necessary.

According to local media, the Danish parliament has expressed its readiness to contribute to a peacekeeping force in Ukraine in the future, according to statements by Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen and Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen following a meeting of the Foreign Affairs Committee. Rasmussen emphasized the importance of sending clear signals to both Russia and Washington, affirming Denmark's support for a European presence in Ukraine if conditions are right and it is part of security guarantees for Ukraine.

For his part, Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen affirmed Denmark’s continued commitment to Ukraine, but Poulsen did not specify details of potential Danish involvement, noting that discussions on specific capabilities had not yet begun.

Poulsen pointed out that the mission may not be initiated by NATO, but will likely be undertaken by a group of European countries in cooperation with Ukraine. He also stressed that Denmark will not be alone in this mission, but will be part of a joint European effort.

This development follows statements by British politicians about the possibility of sending peacekeeping forces to Ukraine if a peace agreement is reached. In Denmark, a majority in parliament expressed their willingness to contribute troops on the ground in Ukraine.

It should be noted that Denmark is facing challenges in meeting NATO's requirements for a combat-ready brigade, as the original plan called for it to be ready in 2023, but delays have led to expectations that it will be ready by 2030.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Saudi Arabia on Monday, where he met with a Ukrainian delegation and US officials to discuss peace efforts.
