Overview

  • On June 30 in Copenhagen, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius met his Danish counterpart and toured Terma’s headquarters to spotlight Germany’s lead role in Baltic Sea surveillance.
  • Pistorius warned of escalating Russian hybrid maritime threats, citing undersea cable sabotage, GPS signal disruptions, and growing Arctic militarisation.
  • The ministers unveiled plans for a joint mission to Greenland in September to reinforce European solidarity after US claims on the territory diminished.
  • Set to begin its EU Council presidency on July 1, Denmark has boosted its defence budget since 2022 and ended a three-decade exemption from EU defence policy.
  • Both countries reaffirmed steadfast support for Ukraine, highlighting Terma’s equipment supplies to Kyiv and accelerated German defence investments.
