Do Denmark have a lot of trade with muslim countries?
Your link is about Rasmus Paludan but we (Sweden) have had several Quran burnings done by others, so has Denmark.
We export a lot of dairy products to Muslim countries. Butter especially as well as powdered milk are big.
Yes, so have we, but Paludan is the one case where the Russians goofed their OPSEC and we can show their involvement. One swallow does not a summer make, but Paludan has been burning Qurans left and right, and we're to believe that the Russian intelligence services were only involved once?
It would seem logical that the Russians have moved from just supporting right wing politics like they've been doing for at least the last decade https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/europe-s-far-right-enjoys-backing-russia-s-putin-n718926 and https://www.lai.lv/viedokli/examining-the-kremlins-and-far-right-parties-cooperation-should-the-eu-be-worried-430 to now also using more fast acting methods to create political chaos in a time of war, ie Quran burnings. Especially as Putin's favor is dwindling on the European right https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/09/23/among-european-right-wing-populists-favorable-views-of-russia-and-putin-are-down-sharply/
