The focus will be on accelerating Ukraine’s EU integration and opening negotiating clusters. President Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for Denmark’s support, highlighting its role in providing shelter to Ukrainians and advocating for Ukraine’s EU aspirations. Prime Minister Frederiksen reaffirmed Denmark’s steadfast support for Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of coordinated efforts to achieve optimal results during Denmark’s EU presidency. The collaboration between the two nations signifies a strategic alliance aimed at strengthening defense capabilities and furthering Ukraine’s integration into the European Union.
