Russian ship enters Danish territorial waters undisturbed. Of course, if Copenhagen hadn’t sent Harpoon missiles to Ukraine …
On Friday, a Russian warship twice breached Danish territorial waters north of the Baltic island of Bornholm, where a democracy festival was taking place attended by senior officials and businessmen. The news was released by the Danish armed forces and reported by Reuters . Below is a map showing how the island is a sort of gateway to the Baltic Sea
Denmark called the action an unacceptable provocation. The Russian embassy in Copenhagen said the Danes have provided no evidence of the trespass.
The Russian warship entered Danish waters without clearance at 0030 GMT on Friday and again a few hours later, the military said in a statement. The warship pulled away after the Danish navy made radio contact.

The annual festival is attended by senior government officials, including Kofod and Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. "Bullying methods don't work against Denmark," Kofod said.
