COPENHAGEN, Denmark

Denmark has expressed its concern that Russia’s political, military and territorial ambitions pose a threat to its sovereignty in its Foreign and Security Policy strategy document issued on Tuesday.

In the 15-page document, it was stated that Denmark should plan to strengthen its defense and security and contribute to NATO's deterrence.

It also urged the country to support the EU’s neighbors to the east and in the Western Balkans.

It further stressed the need to address the global consequences of Russia’s war.

“We must deal with the subsidiary consequences of Russia’s war of aggression, which are manifesting themselves around the entire world and which in many cases have reinforced existing dynamics and challenges. Food crises, energy crises, and a changing world economy affect countries and populations which, in many cases, are also affected by climate change and natural disasters,” it said.

The report suggested that the development in the global economy leading up to 2050 is expected to alter the distribution of power in the world such that especially the EU and the US will lose ground to the growing economies, mainly China and India.
