STOCKHOLM, 01 April 2022, (TON): Mette Frederiksen, said “Denmark may commit to sending 800 more troops to the Baltic States, that country’s prime minister.”
The Danish premier was in Estonia and appeared at a joint press conference with Prime Minister Kaja Kallas at Tapa.
Denmark is already a regular contributor to the NATO Enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) Battlegroup at Tapa, and around 200 of its personnel are currently based there.
Frederiksen said “for an increased number of Danish troops to get the go ahead, NATO must first request them, while Denmark’s parliament, the Folketing, must also approve the move.”
Upon being asked at the press conference about the potential troop commitment, Prime Minister Frederiksen said it was much more than an idea.
Accompanied by Kaja Kallas “the U.K. recently doubled the number of troops it is deploying there, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine starting February 24. Prime Minister Frederiksen’s Estonian visit included a visit to Tapa.”
