Danish PM says Ukraine seems successful in defending itself
VILNIUS (Reuters) -Ukraine's attack against several Russian air bases on Sunday shows that Kyiv is successful in defending itself, Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Monday.
"I think they (Ukraine) have the right to defend themselves and sometimes it includes pushing back so it seems that it has been successful," Frederiksen said when asked to comment on Ukraine's attack.
Ukraine's domestic intelligence service, the SBU, acknowledged it carried out the attack, codenamed "Operation Spider's Web," planned for more than a year and a half.
At a meeting of Nordic, Baltic and Eastern European leaders in the capital of Lithuania, Frederiksen on Monday also said it was crucial to focus on rearming Europe.
"Russia is a threat to all of us and therefore we need to strengthen our Eastern flank... We have to push for a ceasefire still but at the same time we have to do what is needed at the battlefield in Ukraine so they can actually win this war," she said.

Kremlin and Trump aides raise nuclear war fears after Ukraine drone strike
As Vladimir Putin pledges to retaliate against Ukraine for last weekend's unprecedented drone attack, Kremlin advisers and figures around Donald Trump have told the US president that the risk of a nuclear confrontation is growing, in an attempt to pressure him to further reduce US support for Ukraine. Kirill Dmitriev, the head of Russia's sovereign wealth fund and an important intermediary between the Kremlin and Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff, called the Ukrainian drone strike an attack on 'Russian nuclear assets', and echoed remarks from Maga-friendly figures warning of the potential for a third world war. 'Clear communication is urgent – to grasp reality and the rising risks before it's too late,' Dmitriev wrote, adding a dove emoji. Ukraine claimed that the strike damaged more than 40 Russian planes, including Tu-95 and Tu-22M heavy bombers that have been used to launch cruise missiles at Ukrainian cities throughout the war, killing thousands and damaging crucial infrastructure that delivers heat and electricity to millions more. But those planes can also carry weapons armed with nuclear warheads, and are part of a nuclear triad along with submarine and silo-based missiles that form the basis for a system of deterrence between Russia and the United States. After a phone call between the two leaders on Wednesday, Trump said: 'President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields.' Related: Operation Spiderweb: a visual guide to Ukraine's destruction of Russian aircraft Ukraine voluntarily gave up its nuclear weapons in 1994, in return for security assurances from the US, the UK and Russia. Those skeptical of US support for Ukraine are seizing on the risks of a nuclear confrontation to argue that the conflict could possibly spin out of control. Maga (Make America great again) influencers such as Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk have openly condemned the drone attack, with Bannon likening the strike to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and Kirk writing: 'Most people aren't paying attention, but we're closer to nuclear war than we've been since this began in 2022.' But more centrist advisers within the Trump camp – including some who have closer links to Ukraine – are also warning that the risks of a nuclear conflict are growing as they seek to maintain Trump's interest in brokering a peace. 'The risk levels are going way up,' Keith Kellogg, Trump's envoy for Ukraine and Russia, told Fox News. 'When you attack an opponent's part of their [nuclear] triad, your risk level goes up because you don't know what the other side is going to do. And that's what they did.' Kellogg also repeated rumours that Ukraine had struck the Russian nuclear fleet at Severomorsk, although reports of an explosion there have not been confirmed. He said the US was 'trying to avoid' an escalation. Other current and former members of the administration skeptical of US support for Ukraine have also vocally opposed the drone strikes. 'It is not in America's interest for Ukraine to be attacking Russia's strategic nuclear forces the day before another round of peace talks,' said Dan Caldwell, an influential foreign policy adviser who was a senior aide to Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon until he was purged amid a leaking scandal last month. 'This has the potential to be highly escalatory and raises the risk of direct confrontation between Russia and Nato,' he said. 'US should not only distance itself from this attack but end any support that could directly or indirectly enable attacks against Russian strategic nuclear forces.' It is not the first time that concerns over Russia's use of a nuclear weapon have been used to try to temper US support for Ukraine. As Moscow's forces were routed near Kharkiv and in the south at Kherson in September 2022, Russian officials sent signals that the Kremlin was considering using a battlefield nuclear weapon, senior Biden officials have said. National security officials said they believed that if the Russian lines collapsed and left open the potential for a Ukrainian attack on Crimea, then there was a 50% chance that Russia would use a nuclear weapon as a result. Ukrainian officials have responded by saying that Russia has embellished its threats of a nuclear attack in order to blackmail the US from giving greater support to Ukraine.

Chinese authorities issue bounty for hackers said linked to Taiwan
BEIJING (Reuters) -The public security bureau in the Chinese city of Guangzhou has put up an undisclosed bounty for more than 20 people it suspects carried out cyber attacks in China, the official news agency Xinhua said on Thursday. The authorities said the hackers were linked to the Taiwan government and named one of them as Ning Enwei. There was no information on the size of the bounty in Chinese state media. Chinese authorities accused Taiwan of organising, planning and premeditating attacks on key sectors such as military, aerospace, government departments, energy and transportation, maritime affairs, science and technology research firms in China as well as in special administration regions Hong Kong and Macau, Xinhua said. Taiwan's government did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Xinhua, citing a cybersecurity report, said the Taiwan "information, communication and digital army" has cooperated with U.S. anti-Chinese forces to conduct public opinion and cognitive warfare against China, secretly instigate revolution and attempt to disrupt public order in China. Last week authorities in Guangzhou, capital of the southern Guangdong province, attributed a cyberattack on an unnamed technology company to the Taiwan government, saying Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) supported the "overseas hacker organisation" responsible. The accusation prompted Taiwan to blame China for peddling false information, saying it was China who was carrying out hacking against the island. China views Taiwan as its own territory. Taiwan's democratically elected government rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims. Chinese courts and legal bodies have no jurisdiction in separately governed Taiwan, whose government has repeatedly complained about Beijing's "long armed jurisdiction" efforts.

Trump says Putin plans to retaliate for Ukraine attack on bombers
Donald Trump said Vladimir Putin warned him Wednesday that he would seek revenge for Ukraine's stunning drone attack on Moscow's bomber fleet, adding that the Russian leader was not ready for any "immediate peace." Kyiv's daring strikes on Russian airfields Sunday destroyed several nuclear-capable aircraft worth billions of dollars, and dominated the third call between the Russian and US presidents since Trump returned to power. Putin had earlier appeared to rule out a ceasefire or any direct talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Turkey has suggested it could host such negotiations and invited Trump too. "President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social network, after a call that he said lasted an hour and 15 minutes. "It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace." The Kremlin described the call, which also focused on negotiations over Iran's nuclear program, as "positive" and "productive", adding that Trump had told Putin that Washington was not informed in advance about the drone strikes. But Zelensky urged Ukraine's allies not to show "weakness" over the Russian president's threats of retaliation. "When he feels neither strength nor pressure, but weakness, he commits yet more crimes," Zelensky said in an online post. - 'Why reward them?' - Trump made no mention of whether he had warned Putin off retaliating against US ally Ukraine, which Russia invaded in February 2022, sparking a grinding war. The US president has repeatedly alarmed Kyiv and its supporters in Europe and elsewhere by pivoting towards Putin, and he had a blazing Oval Office row with Zelensky in February. Trump has however also shown growing frustration with Putin -- last week calling him "crazy" -- as Russia has continued attacks and derailed Trump's campaign pledge to end the war within 24 hours. Putin's call with Trump appeared to be part of a diplomatic offensive, with the Russian leader also speaking with Pope Leo XIV on Wednesday. The Vatican said the US-born pontiff had pressed Putin during the call to make a "gesture that favors peace". Pope Leo has previously offered to host Ukraine peace talks. The Kremlin said Putin had told the pope he wanted peace through diplomacy but accused Kyiv of "carrying out of acts of sabotage against civil infrastructure on Russian territory." Putin earlier accused Ukraine of being behind "terrorist" attacks on bridges in its border regions over the weekend, including one that caused a train to derail, killing seven people. He said any full ceasefire would just give Kyiv a chance to rearm. "Why reward them by giving them a break from the combat, which will be used to pump the regime with Western arms, to continue their forced mobilization and to prepare different terrorist acts," Putin said in a televised government meeting. Ukraine has been pushing for an unconditional and immediate 30-day truce, issuing its latest proposal to Moscow at peace talks in Istanbul on Monday. - 'Ultimatum' - Zelensky said earlier Wednesday that Russia had handed Ukraine an "ultimatum" and recycled old demands in Turkey, where the only concrete agreement was on a series of large-scale prisoner exchanges. Moscow's demands included Ukraine fully pulling out of four regions -- Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia -- that Russia claims to have annexed but does not have full control over. Zelensky said Ukraine was ready "any day" for a meeting proposed by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that would also include the US and Russian leaders. The White House says Trump is "open" to such a meeting. More than three years into Russia's invasion, which has cost tens of thousands of lives, the two sides have opened direct talks searching for a way to end what has become Europe's largest conflict since World War II. Ukrainian troops have been suffering months of setbacks on the battlefield. Russia's army said it had captured another village in Ukraine's Sumy border region as it seeks to establish what it calls a "buffer zone" inside Ukrainian territory. burs-dk/md
