Mette Frederiksen has prepared her home for possible cyberattacks from Russia. She has called on Danes to also stock up on water, canned goods, and radios in case of emergencies.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has prepared her home due to her concerns about cyber attacks from Russia. In particular, the politician has stocked up on canned goods, water and old radios, writes UNN referring to Alt om Kendte.
Details
In the DR podcast "Stars and Stripes", Mette Frederiksen said that she has equipped her home with everything necessary in case of attacks by the Russian Federation.
She has prepared for situations where, for example, Denmark suddenly loses electricity, the Internet or runs out of food.
However, the Prime Minister does not consider such preparation paranoia.
"When the authorities today recommend that you have water, an old-fashioned radio and batteries for it, and, for example, mackerel in tomato sauce or some other "nice" canned food, it is only because other situations may also arise", - explained Mette Frederiksen.
Although the Prime Minister does not expect a march of enemy troops across the Øresund Bridge or the German border anytime soon, she believes that cyber attacks from Russia and other destabilizing factors are realistic scenarios.
She also noted that we are all living in a period of digital war. Therefore, Frederiksen recommended that Danes take the recommendations of the Danish Emergency Management Agency seriously.
Mette Frederiksen acknowledges that her stockpiling is more of an obligation than a desire - but she has made it clear that it is not out of fear of the worst, but out of readiness for anything.
Reminder
In early December, NATO Foreign Ministers agreed on a package of measures to counter cyber threats from the Russian Federation. The measures include intelligence sharing, additional training and strengthening the protection of critical infrastructure.
