Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to review cooperation in the fields of defense and humanitarian assistance.

Zelensky announced that Denmark had prepared a new defense package worth 645 million euros for Ukraine. He stated that the package would include attack and interceptor drones, ammunition for F-16 fighter jets, and support for the PURL initiative.

Zelensky emphasized that the package represented important assistance at a time when Russia continued its attacks on energy infrastructure.

The meeting also addressed humanitarian and energy assistance for the Kherson region. Zelensky announced that Denmark had prepared a 20 million euro energy support package for Kherson ahead of the fourth anniversary of the expulsion of Russian forces from the region. He noted that the assistance would cover energy, water, and heating needs.

Zelensky also said they discussed providing direct support to communities in the Mykolaiv region, activities under the Drone Deal, the development of joint production, and ongoing work on the FREJYA anti-ballistic missile program.

Zelensky thanked the Danish government, parliament, and people for their support and their firm commitment to protecting Ukraine's independence and values.
