Denmark Readies to Deploy Peacekeepers to Ukraine

Denmark has expressed a willingness to send peacekeeping forces to Ukraine in support of a future peace settlement, as articulated by Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen. They emphasized the importance of sending a clear signal to both Russia and the U.S. regarding Europe's readiness to contribute to peace efforts, although no concrete plans have been established yet. The Danish government has received support from various political parties in parliament for this potential deployment, which remains contingent on developments in the conflict. Denmark has been a strong supporter of Ukraine since the 2022 invasion, previously supplying military aid and expressing solidarity with Ukrainian leadership. The idea of a European peacekeeping mission is gaining traction, with other nations like the UK and France also considering similar deployments. However, any Danish military involvement would be carefully assessed to ensure it does not compromise the security of neighboring Baltic countries.
