Monument for Denmark’s International Effort since 1948. Today, together with King Frederik X of Denmark and Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen @Statsmin, we honored the memory of fallen Danish warriors who lost their lives while serving in international missions, defending other countries. Since 2023, the name of Ukraine has also been engraved on the memorial wall among the countries and locations where missions were conducted. Our people understand particularly well how important solidarity and the willingness to come to the aid of others are. We have deep respect for everyone who serves people and is ready to help protect lives. Eternal honor and remembrance to all those who lost their lives helping others in the fight for peace and shared security.

A good meeting with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen @Statsmin. There is a new €645 million defense package for Ukraine. It is primarily funding for the procurement of drones – attack drones and interceptors – ammunition for F-16s, and PURL. A very timely and substantial boost, just as Russia is carrying out its ballistic campaign against our energy infrastructure, water supply, heating, and everything that makes up normal life. We also discussed additional humanitarian support. Today, ahead of the fourth anniversary of Kherson’s liberation from the Russians, Denmark has also made a decision to support our people in the Kherson region specifically. There is a €20 million energy package for the region. It is very important that Denmark focuses on direct support for our communities. A lot has been done in the Mykolaiv region thanks to these efforts. We are counting on them to continue. We also discussed the results of our work under the Drone Deal, the development of joint production, and work on the FREYJA anti-ballistic program. I thank Mette, the Government, Parliament, and all the people of Denmark for their unwavering support, truly strong decisions, and leadership in protecting lives and values.

Arrived in Denmark with my team for meetings with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Danish parliamentarians, and leading defense companies. An audience with King Frederik X is also scheduled, along with a separate meeting with the prime ministers of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, and Finland. The main priority is our security and strengthening our defense. There will be new steps to enhance Ukraine’s defense capabilities – a strong defense package from Denmark. Thank you for this support! Denmark has stood with Ukraine since the first days of the full-scale war and remains one of our most reliable partners and a leader in various formats that strengthen the protection of human lives. We thank the Danish people and government for their unwavering support and concrete decisions that help us stand strong. 🇺🇦 🇩🇰
