📖 Narrative

"Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen accused Russia of "gradually shifting the boundary for what they consider acceptable behaviour", adding: "That is something we cannot accept." In a statement, Russian ambassador Vladimir Barbin said Moscow would "thoroughly investigate all the circumstances of the incident" but accused the Danish helicopter of carrying out "provocative actions". Barbin said this was "not the first time that Danish Air Force helicopters have carried out dangerous manoeuvres near Russian warships". He said he had complained about a similar incident last year, adding that the latest event showed that "communication problems lie not with the Russian Navy's vessels, but with the Danish side". Russia's behaviour was "reckless and dangerous," the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said in a post on social media."
