Details: Speaking at a panel discussion with the leaders of 5 European nations, Frederiksen urged her colleagues to provide the Ukrainian Armed Forces with the weapons that their military has at its disposal, as Ukraine needs them more.

The prime minister pointed out that European leaders often cite problems with arms production as an obstacle to increasing supplies.

"We, Denmark, have decided to transfer all our artillery to Ukraine. So, excuse me, but the issue is not just about production. Europe still has military equipment. It has to be transferred to Ukraine," she said.

Mette Frederiksen also stated that Europeans should not wait for the crisis to be resolved with the approval of financing of supplies from the United States for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. "It doesn't matter what the US comes up with, but we, Europeans, have to defend ourselves. This is a war on the European continent," she stressed.

European Pravda reported that Denmark wants to be the next country to sign a security treaty with Ukraine, as Frederiksen told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Munich.

In addition, it was reported that the security agreement between Ukraine and the Netherlands is "at the final stage".
