NATO member calls for end to Ukraine red lines
The bloc should disregard Russia’s potential response to proposed long-range strikes using Western weapons, Denmark’s PM says | Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has claimed that NATO should take a no-holds-barred policy towards the Ukraine conflict and allow Kiev fire long range missiles deep into Russia. Public discussion on how far NATO countries should go to defeat Russia only plays into Moscow’s hands, she argued. ● Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky is set to meet US President Joe Biden this week to present his “victory plan.” Kiev is lobbying Washington to permit long-range strikes using donated Western weapons, deep inside Russia, a move that Russian President Vladimir Putin has said would amount to an act of war by the US-led military bloc. Frederiksen, a staunch supporter of Kiev, told Bloomberg TV that such permission should be granted regardless of how Moscow might react.
