Ukrainian President Zelenskiy stated that the development of the missile defense system "Freyja" is important

Continuing his official contacts in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, Zelenskiy held a press conference with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen after visiting the historical castle Kastellet in the capital on the second day.

Pointing out the importance of Ukraine developing its own missile defense system called "Freyja" with a group of European countries as an alternative to the US Patriot air defense systems, Zelenskiy said, "We respect our US partners. They have a large system, but there is a big gap in missile defense systems in Europe." he said.

Stating that France is working on a ballistic missile system and that it is a useful initiative, Zelenskiy said, "Europe does not currently have a strong and cost-effective ballistic missile defense system that will work with 100 percent efficiency. Thanks to our war experience, we know very well how such a system should work. I hope we can create unity on this issue. We will develop a system and of course this system will be shared. Our primary target is Ukraine because Ukraine is currently at war." made his assessment.

Pointing out that the most important issue in the current situation is the end of the war in Ukraine, Zelenskiy said that he could give information about the continuation of the talks in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), later in the day.

Frederiksen stated that Europe also needs Ukraine's help and that an office will be established in Denmark for the "Freyja" project.

Zelenskiy, who was also received by Danish King Frederik as part of his contacts, is also expected to address the Danish Parliament.

Zelenskiy met with the leaders of the Scandinavian countries in Copenhagen yesterday.
