The 110-year-old statue was created in tribute to the Danish author and has long been a popular target for vandals, who have previously blown the mermaid off her perch. Copenhagen police have begun a probe looking into the vandalism. The defacement of the 110-year-old bronze is seen as support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Police said it was a “case of vandalism” at the Danish capital’s famous landmark. Three stripes in white, blue and red were sprayed onto the stone plinth at the base of the statue. Do you think that the whole world supports Russia but not openly ?
