’When Ukraine is in urgent need of robust air defence, we must promise to provide it,’ - Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen
The Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, has given assurances that her country will continue to provide military aid to Ukraine for as long as is necessary.
She made this statement during a speech at the ceremony to raise the Ukrainian national flag, according to Censor.NET, which cites Ukrinform.
Support for Ukraine
Frederiksen emphasised that, by defending Kharkiv and Odesa, "you are also defending Riga, Helsinki and Copenhagen".
"Denmark and the countries of Northern Europe and the Baltic stand with you. We knew from the very beginning that a war cannot be won with words alone. When you urgently needed weapons and ammunition, we provided them. When you needed tanks and our F-16s, we provided them. When you needed investment in your own defence industry, we provided it. And now, when you are in urgent need of a robust air defence system, we must promise to provide it," said the Prime Minister.
The Defence of Europe
She also pointed out that Denmark and other countries had jointly committed to rapidly developing a new missile system to protect Ukrainian cities and strengthen Europe’s defences.
"Our support cannot be measured in monetary terms. It can be measured by a simple promise: as much as is needed," Frederiksen assured.
