After the meeting, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Lars Løkke Rasmussen took the floor, who said on behalf of the government that Denmark She is ready for this. – Of course, dishes will contribute to the phase of arms suspension or actual peace agreement, and if necessary, being one of the security guarantors, in the presence of European military forces in Ukraine – he said, quoted by the Danish portal Local.

– We all know that Denmark is not able to ensure the strength needed to guarantee that any peace agreement will be respected. This will require a larger coalition (states) – said Rasmussen. He added, however, that “it is important that we send the right signals in Europe to both Putin and Washington.” – This is what we do today, saying: if the moment comes when the presence of Europe there (in Ukraine) will be necessary to conclude a weapon or peace agreement, then the dishes are essentially prepared for this – he said, quoted by the portal of the Danish public information station dr.

However, the defense minister of Denmark Troels Lund Poulsen emphasized that the fact that the government obtained the consent of MPs sitting on the commission of soldiers does not mean that the final decision was made in this matter. – We have not yet decided on a specific action.

He did not rule out, however, that Denmark would be in Latvia and Ukraine. – You can be in many places. It depends on what type of contribution we want to make. There are many different options, but I'm not going to go further today – he said.
