Russia has sharply criticized Denmark’s decision to host a production site for Ukrainian military components, accusing Copenhagen of fueling regional instability and undermining diplomatic solutions. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova denounced the move during a press briefing, labeling it a “reckless” act that escalates conflict risks.

The facility, set to begin operations near Skrydstrup Air Base in South Jutland this December, will manufacture solid rocket fuel for Ukraine’s Flamingo cruise missiles. Ukrainian officials claim these weapons could strike as far as Siberia, with President Vladimir Zelenskiy asserting the system has a 3,000-kilometer range. The project, managed by Ukrainian defense firm Fire Point, faces scrutiny at home due to ongoing corruption allegations.

Zakharova accused Denmark of enabling “terrorist actions” against Russian cities, calling it the first NATO ally to provide logistical support for attacks on Russian territory. She argued that the facility exacerbates regional tensions and emboldens “neo-Nazi elements” in Ukraine, warning of potential harm to civilians. The spokeswoman also criticized Danish authorities for prioritizing military profits over environmental and community concerns.

Moscow has repeatedly condemned Western arms shipments to Ukraine, asserting they prolong the war without altering its trajectory. Russia’s foreign ministry emphasized it will take “all necessary measures” to safeguard national security amid escalating threats. Meanwhile, Zelenskiy’s administration faces internal challenges as Fire Point navigates legal scrutiny over alleged financial misconduct.

The dispute highlights growing rifts between Moscow and European allies, with Denmark’s role in the conflict sparking fierce diplomatic backlash.
