The Russian warship twice entered the territorial waters of Denmark.
This was reported by the Danish defense command, reports Ukrinform with reference to Radio Liberty.
According to the statement, the Russian corvette entered Danish waters north of Christianso on the night of June 17. The incident was repeated in the same area later in the night. After a civil walkie-talkie signal from the Danish navy, the Russian vessel left territorial waters.
The actions of the ship were commented on by Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod. He called it an “irresponsible, rude and unacceptable” provocation.
