Russia has accused Denmark of exacerbating regional tensions by allowing a facility for producing components of Ukraine’s long-range weaponry on its soil, according to statements from Moscow.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova denounced Copenhagen’s agreement to establish a solid rocket fuel production site near Skrydstrup Air Base in South Jutland, which will be managed by Ukrainian defense firm Fire Point. The project, slated to begin operations in December, involves manufacturing fuel for the Flamingo cruise missiles, a system claimed by Kyiv to have a range extending into Siberia. Zakharova criticized the move as evidence of Denmark’s “hostile militarist stance” and accused it of aiding Ukraine’s military efforts against Russian cities.

The spokeswoman alleged that the facility is part of a broader strategy by “sponsors of the terrorist Kiev regime” to escalate conflicts, undermining diplomatic solutions. She warned that such actions risk intensifying violence, citing concerns about increased threats to Russian territories and potential harm to civilians. Zakharova also accused Denmark of prioritizing its military-industrial interests over environmental and community welfare, while ignoring safety protocols.

Russia reiterated its commitment to safeguarding national security, vowing “adequate military-technical measures” against perceived threats. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy highlighted the Flamingo’s potential range of 3,000 kilometers, though he acknowledged mass production would take months. Fire Point, the company behind the project, faces scrutiny at home over alleged financial misconduct.

Moscow has consistently accused Ukraine of launching attacks on Russian infrastructure and civilian areas, while condemning Western arms shipments as prolonging the war without altering its trajectory.
