Zelensky meets Frederiksen ahead of European Political Community Summit in Copenhagen
The Head of State reported this on Telegram, Ukrinform notes.
“Today, we are working in Denmark at the European Political Community Summit. I began our work by meeting with Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen. The recent incursions into the airspace of Denmark, Poland, Romania, Norway, and Estonia were a key focus. Russia is escalating, and we discussed how we can respond to these threats,” Zelensky stated.
He emphasized that Ukraine has repeatedly proposed a joint, integrated air defense system.
“The expertise of Ukrainian professionals and Ukrainian technologies must become an important part of the EU’s Drone Wall initiative. Right now, a strong group of Ukrainian servicemembers is in Denmark, helping Danish colleagues,” the President stressed.
Zelensky and Frederiksen also discussed the implementation of the PURL initiative and Denmark’s continued participation in the program.
“We value Denmark’s contribution of €90 million. I am grateful to Denmark for a military aid package of more than €360 million to support Ukrainian production under the Danish model. I thank Prime Minister Frederiksen and the people of Denmark for their strong support,” Zelensky concluded.
As reported by Ukrinform, on Wednesday, October 1, Copenhagen is hosting an informal summit of EU heads of state and government, with two main issues on the agenda: strengthening Europe’s collective defense and supporting Ukraine.
