Copenhagen, 13 December 2023 (dpa/MIA) - Denmark vowed to support Ukraine with renewed military aid during a press conference with Nordic leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Oslo on Wednesday.

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced her government would present an aid package totalling almost €1 billion ($1.1 billion) to the Danish parliament on Thursday.

If adopted by parliament, the package would include things Ukraine is currently in need of, like ammunition, tanks, drones and other equipment.

Zelensky unexpectedly landed in Oslo on Wednesday morning to participate in a second Nordic-Ukrainian summit. The leaders from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland once again emphasized continued support for Ukraine, which has been defending itself against a full-scale Russian invasion for almost two years now.

"Now is not the time to tire of a war that brave Ukrainian soldiers are fighting every day. ... no doubt that we will support Ukraine's fight as long as it is needed," said Frederiksen.
