Danish Defence Intelligence assesses that Russia intends to use military force to challenge NATO countries, including increased military posturing near alliances.
Denmark's Defence Intelligence Service (Forsvarets Efterretningstjeneste, FE) released a threat assessment on February 24, 2024, stating that Russia has the intention to use 'military power instruments' to challenge NATO countries. This includes an increased risk of military escalation in the Baltic and Nordic regions, highlighting troop movements and possible preparations near the borders of NATO states. The report warns of Russia's continued efforts to increase military pressure and destabilize the alliance. This updated assessment comes amid escalating tensions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and signals a sustained high-risk security environment for Northern Europe.
