Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called for more aid and support for Ukraine in a speech at the 79th UN General Assembly. “We should stop this talk about red lines,” Frederiksen said.
Frederiksen pointed out that Russia was one of seven countries that opposed the final outcome of the Summit of the Future, since it considered that it promoted western values.
“It should be democracies and all of us who believe in an international and rule-based international community who define the world order,” Frederiksen said. “It should not be dictators, autocrats nor people who do not recognize international law and Human Rights.”
Frederiksen criticized Russia´s “destabilising role” in Africa and the Middle-East. She accused Russia of cyber attacks, spreading misinformation and the war in Ukraine. “I cannot see any signs that Russia wants peace.”
Nordic statement on Ukraine
Denmark also spoke on behalf of the five Nordic Countries, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden in a Security Council meeting. Lars Løkke Rasmussen, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Denmark, delivered a common Nordic statement where he “condemned Russia’s invasion in the strongest terms and once again call for the immediate withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine.”
