Russia believes that it can act with impunity - we have seen this playbook before the invasion of Georgia, Danish foreign minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said at the UN Security Council meeting.

According to Lars Løkke Rasmussen, it was a “reckless and dangerous” violation of Estonian airspace, “penetrating 10 kilometer deep, north of Tallin.”

“Let there be no doubt: I condemn this latest violation of Estonia sovereignty and territorial integrity by Russia. Our support for Estonia remains steadfast,” he said.

He called out Russian “escalations and provocations” which he says seek to “intimiate countries to stop supporting Ukraine and to test our resolve.”

“Russia clearly feels it can act with impunity in Ukraine, the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, the whole of eastern Europe,” he said.

According to him, “Denmark and its allies will not be provoked by Russia.”

“We have seen this playbook before the invasion of Georgia, the annexation of Crimea, the invasion of the Donbas, the full scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia’s neighbours, not unreasonably fear, they could be next,” he said.

“Therefore, we tell the Russian Federation today: step back, step back. Take another path. We will not allow [for] the unravelling of the European security architecture,” he said.
