"I congratulate President-elect Volodymyr Zelensky. He faces tough tests ahead, but Ukrainians are clear: they want a European future. Ukraine’s friends - myself included - will do what we can to help this dream become reality," he wrote.

Rasmussen expressed commiserations to Petro Poroshenko, who "led Ukraine from very dark days into a new dawn."

"It has been an honour to serve him, and help Ukraine navigate the geopolitical storms of recent years," he emphasized.
