Volodymyr Zelensky met in Copenhagen with the prime ministers of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Finland. They discussed, in particular, diplomacy and preparations for the next steps in the talks.
The President of Ukraine reported this on his Telegram page.
Zelensky briefed the leaders on the initial outcomes of the talks in Abu Dhabi. The countries’ shared position is that Europe must be present at the negotiating table.
The President also raised the issue of Russian escalation and spoke about strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
“The most difficult situation right now is in the Kyiv region and the Dnipropetrovsk and Chernihiv regions. Because of Russian shelling, there are ongoing problems with electricity supply in the Donetsk, Sumy and Kharkiv regions, as well as in Zaporizhzhia region. Thank you for your willingness to help,” the statement said.
Ukraine is counting on new support packages from its Nordic partners.
- Ukraine will receive a defence aid package worth €645 million from Denmark. This is primarily funding for the purchase of drones— strike drones and interceptors—as well as ammunition for F-16s and PURL. In addition, Denmark has earmarked €20 million in energy assistance for Kherson region.
