Details: Zelenskyy said he and the Danish prime minister had discussed "the importance of unity and solidarity in Europe in addressing global security challenges and threats to every European".

The leaders also talked about strengthening bilateral cooperation between Ukraine and Northern Europe, as well as "joint efforts to bring closer a just and lasting peace".
