europe - Danish Defense Intelligence Service warns of a potential major war in Europe, with Russia being the biggest military power in the region.
Danish Intelligence's Warning
Danish Defense Intelligence Service has raised concerns that Russia could initiate a large-scale war in Europe within the next five years if the conflict in Ukraine persists and NATO fails to arm itself adequately. The intelligence report highlights Russia's increasing capacity to modernize its military equipment and enhance production, potentially creating a threat to NATO. While no immediate military threat towards Denmark is identified, the report underscores Russia's dominance as the largest military force in the region. It suggests that Russia aims to control the northern sea areas of its mainland, indicating a strategic interest in the Arctic region. The report also mentions Russia's preparedness for conflict with the West, suggesting that if NATO is perceived as weak or divided, Russia might be more inclined to engage in regional warfare against one or more European countries.
