This is reported by dr.dk.
Jakob Ellemann-Jensen is an officer in the reserve, and in that capacity, he is participating in the NATO exercise “Knight Namejs” in Latvia.
– Someone has to. The situation we have in Europe: There is war on our continent, Russia has invaded a completely innocent neighboring country because of a paranoid man. This has meant that the entire security policy situation has changed, Jakob Ellemann-Jensen tells dr.dk.
