The Danish government and parliament have reached a consensus on the possible deployment of troops to Ukraine to support a future peace settlement.
Source Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lkke Rasmussen and Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen in comments to journalists, cited by Danish public broadcaster DR, as reported by European Pravda Details Rasmussen and Poulsen met with members of the parliamentary Foreign Policy Committee on 10 March to clarify the governments position on deploying troops to Ukraine and secured broad support from parliamentary parties.
Quote from Rasmussen It is important that we in Europe send the right signals to both Putin and Washington.
This is what we are doing today by saying If it comes to a ceasefire or a peace agreement requiring a European presence, Denmark is, in principle, ready to take part. Details Poulsen says there are currently no concrete plans for troop deployment.
Quote from Poulsen We have not made a decision to take on specific commitments.
This will depend on how events unfold.
This is therefore an expression of due caution. Background The Telegraph reported that the United Kingdom and France have prepared a plan to deploy up to 30,000 European troops in Ukraine to guarantee a potential peace.
Paris previously emphasised that the conditions for ending the RussoUkrainian war cannot amount to Ukraines de facto surrender, as a lasting peace is essential for the security of the entire European continent.
