Q&A sessions at the Munich Security Conference test the host's skills. The politicians on stage cannot avoid hard or sensitive questions; it's all about how they respond.

Host: Can you put a price on Greenland?

Prime Minister of Denmark, Frederiksen: Of course not. Can you put a price on a part of Spain, a part of the United States, or any other part of the world?

Host: How likely are you to defend Greenland?

Fredriksen: It feels pretty good up here on stage (implied meaning: you got me).

(Audience laughs)

Let's say this: If one NATO member attacks another NATO member, NATO will collapse. Game over. That's simple. If the U.S. were to go to war with Greenland, that would be completely unacceptable. End of discussion.

The Munich Security Conference is indeed a platform for condemning Russia in its absence. Even if Greenland is in danger, the Danish Prime Minister shifted the focus back to Russia: "The types of weapons Ukraine can use are still limited, and this is the bottom line for us to win this war. You can't win a war with one hand tied behind your back."

She said, "The Russians only understand strength. Just carrying a weapon on your shoulder won't win a war. Ukraine must get everything it needs to win the war. I have been asking, why aren't we providing them with the air defense capabilities they need? Without air defense capabilities, you can't protect a country. We are very clear about what we need to achieve, and that certainly includes joining NATO, because if they were a NATO member now, our situation would be completely different."

"Regarding the number of casualties, 35,000 people—if this happened in any of our countries, it would be a huge disaster, something we could never forgive ourselves for. But this is Russia, and they don't count soldiers in numbers like 35,000. We must compare it with World War II and their losses during that war. We cannot equate our way of thinking with Moscow's."

"We must recognize, understand, and realize that Russia will not change. Unfortunately, they have no interest in peace. Can you imagine? I mean, temperatures at -25 degrees, and attacking energy systems. I mean, only the Russians would do something like this—it's absolutely crazy. But that's Russia, and it won't change."
