German chancellor Olaf Scholz, who seems unlikely to remain in power after his country’s federal elections on Feb. 23, was much more tepid on the issue.
“It is completely premature and the completely wrong time to be having this discussion now. I am even a little irritated by these debates,” Scholz told reporters when asked if he would consider sending German military units as peacekeepers.
Over the past year at least, the leadership of the Baltic states, especially, have publicly fretted about what would happen if there were no Western forces to enforce a ceasefire in Ukraine; at Monday’s meeting in Paris, Denmark joined their voices.
Russia is “threatening all Europe now,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said in Paris.
The war in Ukraine has been about Russia’s “imperial dreams, about building a stronger and a bigger Russia, and I don’t think they’re going to stop in Ukraine,” Frederiksen told reporters. She said she was concerned about Washington’s attempts to impose an expedited ceasefire, without the input of either the EU or Ukraine, that could give Russia the ability “to mobilize again, attack Ukraine or another country in Europe.”
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is the ironclad voice of Europe in support for Ukraine and stronger EU. Her leadership is outstanding. Together with @KPisarska we salute her work. Now its time to act: Europe must take its destiny into its own hands. 🇪🇺🇩🇰🇵🇱🇫🇮🇺🇦#MunSecConf pic.twitter.com/b114b51HZi
