Denmark’s Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, has emphasized the urgency of supporting Ukraine as tensions with the US rise and winter approaches. She stated, "We must continue to support Ukraine. Otherwise we are making things far too easy for the Russians."

Financial Strain on Ukraine

Frederiksen highlighted that Ukraine is running out of funds, noting that "fighting a war is expensive." She pointed out that the country struggles to produce necessary equipment, particularly for air defense. As a result, she observed, "the Russians are striking Ukrainian society much, much harder than they were not that long ago."
