DR reported the information.According to Ahrenkiel, Danish intelligence assesses that Russia is currently conducting a hybrid war against the Scandinavian state as well as against the West.“This means Russia is using military means, including aggressively, to put pressure on us without crossing the threshold of armed conflict,” Ahrenkiel told journalists.“Russia wants to create uncertainty and internal divisions among allies so that we stop supporting Ukraine and refrain from decisions that go against their interests and further harm Russia’s economy,” he said.Ahrenkiel added that Russia is using methods against Denmark that would have been unthinkable before the war in Ukraine.“We want to demonstrate military power without entering into direct armed conflict,” the intelligence chief said.On September 26, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said drone violations of the country’s airspace were part of what she described as the start of a hybrid war against Europe.On September 30, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukrainian specialists had arrived in Denmark to take part in joint exercises aimed at developing new systems to counter Russian and other drones.
