LVIV, Ukraine - Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen met President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv on Feb 23, a day before the second anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion.

The leaders visited a cemetery, and paid tribute to fallen soldiers, the Ukrainian president's office said.

"We will never forget the heroes who defended our independence, freedom, and future," Mr Zelensky said on X.

Denmark, a member of the Nato military alliance and the European Union, has been a staunch supporter of Ukraine and is among the biggest contributors of military aid relative to the size of its economy.

Denmark announced a new 1.7 billion crown (S$330 million) military aid package for Ukraine on Feb 22 and urged allies week to step up donations to help Kyiv in the war with Russia.

Ms Frederiksen said on Feb 22 she expects Denmark to make its first delivery of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine this summer. REUTERS
