Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has announced that she is preparing for potential hostilities from Moscow by stocking up on essentials, including canned food.
In a Friday interview with local broadcaster DR, the Prime Minister stated she is adhering to guidelines provided by Denmark’s emergency management agency earlier this year on how to prepare for a crisis.
“I follow the authorities’ recommendations, and I think the Danes should do the same,” Frederiksen noted, emphasizing the risks she sees from Russia to Denmark’s security.
She clarified, “It is not because we expect an offensive war against Denmark, as we have seen in Ukraine, but the risk of another type of attack is there, such as a hybrid attack or cyberattack.” The Prime Minister also referenced Denmark’s defense intelligence services, which indicated that Russia is rapidly arming itself and could potentially attack a NATO country within a few years.
“It is crucial that we stand together. This requires both defense and deterrence in relation to Russia,” she said.
Frederiksen highlighted the significant dependence of modern society on electricity and mobile communications, which makes it particularly vulnerable.
“So, it is in that light that one must prepare,” the Prime Minister concluded.
Earlier this year, Denmark’s emergency management agency outlined the necessary quantities of water, food, and medicine that individuals should store to cope with a crisis lasting three days.
Other Nordic countries have also shared resources advising their citizens on how to brace for potential wartime conditions or other unexpected crises. In November, Sweden began distributing millions of updated brochures titled “In case of crisis or war.”
Finland has introduced a new website dedicated to “preparing for incidents and crises,” while Norway has reportedly started mailing pamphlets to citizens advising them on self-sufficiency for a week in the event of extreme weather, war, or other threats.
NATO has consistently identified Russia as a direct threat, with Western officials repeatedly asserting that if Moscow emerges victorious in Ukraine, it may turn its sights on other European nations.
In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin has rebuffed the notion of a military advance against NATO countries as “nonsense.” He stated in a February interview with US journalist Tucker Carlson that NATO leaders are attempting to instill fear in their populations about an imaginary threat from Russia, insisting that “smart people understand perfectly well that this is a fake.”
