Frederiksen called the situation around Ukraine "дуже, дуже складною" due to signals from США
The Prime Minister of Denmark noted that Ukraine has already exhausted financial resources to meet its needs in the war and cannot purchase and produce the necessary weapons. Against this background, the situation around Ukraine has become extremely difficult due to the latest signals from США.
This was stated by Метте Фредеріксен 16 October before the start of the second day of the ЄС summit in Brussels, writes "Радіо Свобода".
The head of government met with the President of Ukraine Володимиром Зеленським.
"Ситуація дуже, дуже складна через сигнали, які надходять зі Сполучених Штатів", said Fredericksen.
According to her, the lack of funding directly affects the defense capability of Ukraine. The Prime Minister stressed that the European Union should urgently find additional funds to support Kyiv in 2026 and ensure proper funding for 2027.
One of the best solutions for this is the use of frozen Russian assets. At the same time, she noted that this initiative is blocked by some member countries of ЄС.
The Prime Minister did not agree with trump on the assessment of Zelensky
The Danish Prime Minister also commented on the recent statements of President США Дональда Трампа, who said that it is easier for him to negotiate with the Russian dictator Володимиром Путіним than with Zelensky.
Frederiksen stressed that she respects the Ukrainian president, and considers his firm position fully justified for a democratically elected leader.
"Я надзвичайно поважаю президента Зеленського. Я жодним чином не вважаю Зеленського складною людиною, з якою важко мати справу. Він твердо стоїть на своїй позиції. І демократично обраному лідеру личить твердо відстоювати те, що є правильним", she said.
The Prime Minister of Denmark also rejected the idea of the need to cooperate with Russia to end the war. According to her, you can not trust Putin, and if Russia really wanted peace, it could simply stop the fighting.
Frederiksen assured that Denmark will continue its military support to Ukraine, in particular, will develop cooperation in the field of production of drones and missiles.
- США President Дональд Трамп said on the eve that it is easier for him to negotiate with Володимиром Путіним than with the President of Ukraine Володимиром Зеленським. In an interview with Newsmax, he criticized the Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries, claiming that they contribute to the growth of world energy prices.
- Трамп also said that he does not consider Zelensky to be set up for an agreement. In addition, the American president again called for the holding of elections in Ukraine, due to the Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian homes.
