President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a phone call with Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen.

The leaders discussed the diplomatic situation and communication with partners. Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted the extremely high level of diplomatic activity in recent days and stressed that, however, there had been no change in Russia's position. The Russians still refuse to stop the killings, still invest in the war, and still push the idea of “exchanging” Ukrainian territory for Ukrainian territory, with consequences that guarantee nothing except more favorable positions for Russia to resume the war.

The Head of State stressed that diplomatic steps must bring us closer to a real end to the war, not its reconfiguration, and that joint decisions with partners must serve common security.

The conversation also touched upon efforts toward EU membership and the progress achieved on this path by Ukraine and Moldova. The leaders share the same view on the need for a fair approach and the fulfillment of commitments for both countries together.
