The Danish government sees no issue with Ukraine using Danish weapons during operations in the Kursk region, as it falls under the right to self-defense.

This was stated by Denmark's Foreign Minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, as reported by DR.

He emphasized that Denmark's support for Ukraine remains unchanged despite the Ukrainian Armed Forces' offensive in the Kursk region.

"Self-defense can certainly include entering the aggressor's territory," he said. "If you attack the infrastructure or military targets of the attacking side as part of this, it is entirely within the rules of war," Rasmussen stated.

 

 

He also highlighted that the use of Danish weapons on Russian soil is within these rules.

"You cannot set a limit that the weapons can only be used on Ukrainian territory," he added.
