Denmark announced today that it has a battalion of 800 troops with NATO for possible reinforcements in the Baltic states, in the face of the Russian threat.
The country has already deployed about 200 men and fighter jets to Estonia and Latvia and has sent a frigate to the eastern Baltic Sea.
“We already have a significant presence in the region, but we are ready to do more,” Prime Minister Matthew Fredericksen told a news conference.
“That’s why the government will propose sending a battalion of about 800 (soldiers) to the Baltic states,” the Danish prime minister said during an intervention dedicated to helping her country in the Ukraine crisis.
This battalion has already been put on alert for the possibility of deployment in case of emergency.
A formal NATO request must be submitted in order for Denmark to send troops to the field, Mete Frederiksen said.
The Danish Prime Minister is expected to travel to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania tomorrow and Thursday, together with her country’s party leaders, to visit the Danish soldiers there.
The announcement by the Prime Minister of Denmark comes after the speech of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in front of the Danish Parliament today, where he thanked Copenhagen for its assistance.
