After serious conversation: Kofod has spoken in 'clear terms' to Russian ambassador | BT Politik - www.bt.dk This weekend, a Russian military aircraft violated Danish airspace. On Sunday, the message from Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod (S) was that the Russian ambassador had been called for talks on Monday to get an explanation. In a press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after the meeting, it sounds as if Jeppe Kofod has had a serious conversation with the Russian ambassador to Denmark. »It is an expression of a completely unacceptable violation of the international rulebook to violate Danish airspace. The Russian ambassador has been told this today in clear terms, "says Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod. The airspace violation took place in a situation of heightened tensions in Europe due to Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine. “Nowhere does it belong unlawfully to fly into each other’s airspace that way. We have asked Russia to provide an explanation. In the situation we find ourselves in Europe, it is particularly worrying that Russian aircraft do not respect national borders. That is why we have reacted clearly and promptly, "says Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod further. Peter Viggo Jakobsen, an expert in international politics and associate professor at the Department of Strategy and War Studies, was absolutely certain that the incident was a clearly controlled provocation on the part of Russia. He told B.T. “They know very well where national borders and political borders go. This has been a purely routine operation on the part of Russia. Just as it has also been standard to send a rejection contingency on the wings from the Danish side. "" They know well what they are doing. They mark themselves and fly home. It is a controlled provocation, "says Peter Viggo Jakobsen. politics Check it here norway abroad Save 40% Cursed everywhere: acknowledge Warns citizens: Said sorry: B.T. thinks Weekendavisen ukraine Atomvåben Berlingske Media A / S Pilestræde 34 DK-1147 København KTlf. +45 33 75 75 33 CVR.no .: 29 20 73 13
