Denmark is also ready to send extra help as soon as possible to the Baltic countries if needed to defend themselves.
“We have a strong presence in the Baltic States with F16 aircraft and soldiers, and we run a headquarters there. We are ready to look at whatever wishes there may be”, Bødskov said.
Earlier, as Polskieradio reports, Poland's Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński on Tuesday travelled to Kyiv, together with Czech leader Petr Fiala and Slovenia’s Janez Janša, for face-to-face talks with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky and Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.
During the visit, Poland’s Kaczyński proposed that NATO or "some wider international body" send a peacekeeping mission to Ukraine.
Kaczyński said: "There is a need for a peacekeeping mission by NATO, maybe also by some wider international body” in Ukraine, "a mission that will be able to defend itself, and which will operate on Ukrainian territory."
He called on the world to "back up its words of respect and solidarity” toward Ukraine with “deeds” and “courage," Polish state news agency PAP reported.
The russian aggression against Ukraine, which began in 2014 with the occupation of certain districts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, has shown that the Kremlin is disregarded international law and its international commitments. This is evidenced by the War in Syria and proved by the eight-year russian-Ukrainian war, which in recent days has grown into a full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine.
