In the DR podcast “Stars and Stripes”, Mette Frederiksen said that she had equipped her house with everything necessary in case of attacks by the Russian Federation. She prepared for situations if, for example, Denmark suddenly runs out of electricity, the Internet, or food. However, the Prime Minister does not consider such preparations to be paranoia. “When today the authorities recommend that you have water, an old-fashioned radio and batteries for it, and, for example, mackerel in tomato sauce or some other “good” canned food, it is only because other situations can arise,” – explained Mette Frederiksen.

Although the Prime Minister does not expect enemy troops to march across the Øresund Bridge or the German border in the near future, she believes that cyberattacks from Russia and other destabilizing factors are realistic scenarios.

She also noted that we are all living in a period of digital warfare. Therefore, Frederiksen recommended that Danes take the recommendations of the Danish National Emergency Management Agency seriously.

Mette Frederiksen admits that her preparation for the concert is more of a duty than a desire – but she made it clear that it is not about fearing the worst, but about being prepared for everything.

Recall 

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 enhanced protection of critical infrastructure.
