Denmark has allocated €645 million to Ukraine as part of its 32nd defence assistance package. The decision was unanimously supported by members of the country’s parliament.
Ukrainian President said Volodymyr Zelenskyy after meeting the Speaker of the Folketing, Henrik Frandsen, and the leaders of all 12 political parties in Denmark.
President Zelenskyy thanked Danish MPs for their support for Ukraine and stressed the importance of the country’s unity.
“Parliament voted for the decision unanimously, and this is an example of how strong unity around Ukraine is within Denmark. I thanked them for all the support and every decision that makes us stronger and brings peace closer,” the President said.
Zelenskyy also addressed Denmark’s parliamentarians. According to him, he became the first foreign leader to be given the opportunity to speak to MPs from the Folketing’s rostrum.
“It is a great honour for me to be the first foreign leader to receive such an opportunity — to speak from the Folketing’s rostrum. This is recognition of the courage of the entire Ukrainian people and, above all, of our warriors who are defending their home and all of Europe. Thank you, Denmark!” Zelenskyy wrote.
