Ukraine tips hat to Denmark’s new government

Ukrainian PM Volodymyr Zelenskyy offered congratulations to “good colleague” PM Mette Frederiksen

Dec 16, 2022

It’s not just the public in Denmark who are pleased to finally be able to see their politicians get back to drafting policy in the halls of Parliament.

The long-winded formation of a new government in the wake of the 2022 General Election has been noticed abroad as well.

In a Twitter post, Ukraine’s PM Volodymyr Zelenskyy conveyed a message to his Danish counterpart.

“I congratulate a good colleague of mine, Mette Frederiksen @Statsmin, on the successful formation of the new Cabinet and appointment as the Prime Minister of Denmark,” Zelenskyy wrote.

“I look forward to our further fruitful co-operation aimed at achieving peace in Europe.”

New government, same support
With Frederiksen at the helm, Denmark has been among the most staunch supporters of the Ukrainians in their war with Russia.

Frederiksen visited Ukraine earlier this year and met with Zelenskyy in Kyiv.

It is expected that Denmark’s new government, despite being an across-the-centre constellation, will continue to strongly support Ukraine with aid, arms and the training of troops.
