Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has warned that a peace agreement in Ukraine might pose greater risks than the ongoing conflict.
She also expressed concerns over shifting U.S. policies and reiterated that Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot be trusted.

“I no longer have the same confidence in the Americans as before. I never expected a second Trump term to mirror the first, but I think we have all been surprised by how quickly uncertainty has emerged from the U.S. We will have to respond to that,” she noted.

The “peace” Trump is going to “negotiate” isn’t peace, it’s surrender and submission.
This reeks of the appeasement policy the major European powers pursued towards Nazi Germany up until they invaded Poland.
Yeah, it’s sort of a Neville Chamberlain moment.
