Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is calling for more assistance to be provided to Ukraine ahead of winter.
She made the remarks on the sidelines of an informal EU leaders’ summit in Dublin.
As The Guardian reports, Frederiksen, speaking with Irish leader Micheál Martin, stressed the importance of agreeing a winter support package for Ukraine.
She said Kyiv needs additional help to “help them get through an extremely difficult winter”.
“So if everyone can do their part, it would be very timely,” she noted.
- On 11 November, during a speech to Danish lawmakers from the Folketing rostrum, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Denmark and other European countries to join the FREYJA anti-ballistic defence programme.
- The day before, Denmark’s parliament unanimously voted for the 32nd package of defence assistance to Ukraine worth €645 million.
