Details: During the discussion, the host cited a number of examples of critical infrastructure incidents with a possible Russian trail, and asked at what stage, in Frederiksen's opinion, NATO allies could invoke at least Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty to convene consultations and begin to do something to deter Russia from new hybrid attacks.
"When you are listing some of the events we have seen just in a few months, it sounds like a bad movie, right? And I think that is our main problem. It was a bit the same feeling I had before the [Russian] attack on Ukraine. It was like we couldn't understand that Russia was going in a full-scale war in Europe. But they were," the Danish prime minister said.
