The provocations of the Russian Navy, which occurred during the meetings of European leaders in Copenhagen, is something that we take very seriously – said on Friday the spokeswoman for the White House Karoline Leavitt. As she said, the US administration is conducting talks with NATO allies on this subject.


– This is something that the administration treats very seriously and we constantly monitor it. The National Security Council in the White House is in constant contact with our allies from NATO, and the president also talks to many of them – Leavitt said during a Friday briefing in the White House. It was the answer to the question about reports about the provocations of Russian warships in Danish straits during the summit of the leaders of the European Union and the European Political Community in Copenhagen.
The head of the Danish Military Intelligence Service (Fe) Thomas Ahrenkiel talked about these incidents on Friday. He informed that several events occurred in the Danish Straits.
Russian warships were on a collision course with Danish units or flowed (equipped) with sensors and drones, “said Ahrenkiel, not giving more details.
As he assessed, “it is very likely that the threat of hybrid attacks from Russia against NATO will increase in the coming years.”
Earlier, the Polish authorities also informed about incidents involving Russian units in the Baltic Sea. On Thursday, Tadeusz Gruchalla from the Maritime Border Guard Department in Gdańsk announced that on October 1, the border guard noticed a Russian boat in the Petrobaltic Petrobaltic company in the area of the Petrobaltic company. The Russian unit was to perform suspicious maneuvers. However, Prime Minister Donald Tusk talked about the incident near the port in Szczecin. On Friday, the deputy head of the Ministry of National Defense Cezary Tomczyk said that over the past year there have been “three-part cases of this type”.
