According to Rasmussen, Denmark's support for Ukraine remains unchanged, despite the recent fighting in the Kursk region.
Self-defense may well involve entering the territory of the aggressor. If, as part of this, you attack the infrastructure or military facilities of the attacking party, it does not fully comply with the rules of war
He also stressed that the use of weapons provided by Denmark on Russian soil also does not contradict the rules.
You can't set a limit that weapons can only be used on Ukrainian territory
Rasmussen also recalled that first of all, the Russian Federation occupied a significant part of Ukrainian territory, and the current Ukrainian offensive is part of a defensive operation.
This is a defensive operation that aims to cut off Russian supply chains to Russian military units in the occupied Ukrainian territory
