Russia has expressed strong disapproval of Denmark’s plan to establish a production facility for long-range missile fuel for Ukraine, claiming it will heighten the risk of escalation and lead to more violence in Ukraine.

This facility will be run by the Ukrainian defense company Fire Point, known for its Flamingo missiles, which President Zelenskiy has called Ukraine’s most effective weapon. The production site will be located near Denmark’s Skydstrup air force base, which houses F-16 jets.

Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, stated that this initiative reveals Denmark’s aggressive stance towards Russia. She argued that this move undermines efforts to peacefully resolve the situation in Ukraine and reflects Denmark’s intent to profit from the ongoing conflict.

Denmark has supported Ukraine significantly since Russia’s military invasion in 2022, providing 67.6 billion Danish crowns (approximately $10.6 billion) in military aid, according to its foreign ministry. Zakharova emphasized that this development poses a threat to regional stability and demonstrates a commitment to militarization rather than diplomacy in resolving the crisis.
