"I am grateful to Denmark and the Danish people for supporting Ukraine from the very beginning of Russia’s full-scale aggression – for military and humanitarian assistance, the development of joint defense production, and investment in Ukraine’s defense industry," Zelenskyy's post says.

At the same time, Zelenskyy shared that during his audience with King Frederik X of Denmark, they discussed Denmark’s patronage over war-affected regions, cooperation in military medicine, and projects to support veterans.

"I invited Danish companies to participate in joint projects in the fields of prosthetics and rehabilitation. We value the Danish government’s leadership in the fighter jet coalition and count on strong decisions regarding the opening of negotiating clusters during Denmark’s Presidency of the Council of the EU," Zelenskyy said.

Earlier today, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen praised the cooperation with Ukraine on defense production.

In addition, Denmark’s Minister for European Affairs, Marie Bjerre, announced that Denmark will push to trigger Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union against Hungary — a move that could lead to the suspension of Hungary’s voting rights.

Copenhagen believes Hungary is violating core EU values, including by blocking Ukraine’s accession.
