Politico: Cyprus Says Deal Limiting Ukraine or Denmark's Sovereignty Would Set a Dangerous Precedent

Cypriot officials told Politico that any agreement forcing Ukraine or Denmark to cede territory would be unacceptable, as it would set a dangerous precedent. Cyprus, due to its own experience with occupation, strongly supports Ukraine and Greenland on this issue. President Christodoulides emphasized that Cyprus understands Ukraine better than any other EU member state. Foreign Minister Kómpos underscored the importance of sovereignty and territorial integrity. Furthermore, Cyprus is pushing for its inclusion in the Schengen area by the end of the year, and there is hope for strengthening efforts towards the reunification of the island following the election of Tufan Erhürman. The article also mentions the issue of the flags of the pseudo-state visible on the Pentadaktylos mountain.
