Danish editors criticize Trump’s Ukraine peace plan

Danish newspapers unanimously express concern over President Donald Trump’s proposed Ukraine peace plan, arguing peace cannot be achieved without involving Ukraine directly and opposing territorial concessions or the denial of a potential NATO membership. The proposal is compared to Neville Chamberlain’s failed 1938 peace agreement with Hitler, suggesting it could be similarly catastrophic. Politiken calls the U.S. approach ‘idiotically misjudged.’ The upcoming Munich security conference will include discussions with U.S., Ukrainian, and Russian representatives, while Europe struggles for inclusion. Berlingske labels the U.S. stance as ‘appalling betrayal’ of Ukraine and allies. Jyllands-Posten proposes Europe should ‘fire’ Trump. Weekendavisen views Trump as a symptom rather than cause of changing global order, stressing the danger of opposing the U.S. Kristeligt-Dagblad criticizes the U.S. for making concessions to Russia pre-negotiations, stating Europe can no longer rely on U.S. military guarantees. JydskeVestkysten accuses Trump of supporting a ‘murderous dictator,’ undermining the U.S.’s role in promoting freedom and democracy.
