Denmark to Announce Major Military Buildup in Response to Russian Threat

The Danish government plans a €6.8 billion defense fund to address escalating security concerns in Europe.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced plans for a 'massive' military rearmament to safeguard the nation and deter war.
A €6.8 billion defense fund for 2025-2026 is expected to be unveiled, representing 3% of Denmark's GDP.
The rearmament includes acquiring anti-aircraft defense systems, which the Danish military currently lacks.
Frederiksen warned that Europe faces its most dangerous security situation since the Cold War, citing Russia's potential ambitions beyond Ukraine.
Danish intelligence highlighted scenarios where Russia could escalate to broader conflicts in Europe if NATO appears weak or divided.
