WORKING “BEHIND THE SCENES”
Denmark’s Europe minister Marie Bjerre told reporters earlier on Thursday that Ukraine’s EU membership bid was “very important for us”.
“We are still trying to lift the resistance from Hungary,” she said.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said that Ukraine’s membership of the EU would “ruin” the 27-nation bloc.
Using its veto power, Hungary has effectively frozen the accession process.
Ukraine has insisted it still hopes Budapest can be brought around, claiming intensive work is being done “behind the scenes”.
US President Donald Trump has effectively nixed Ukraine’s attempts to join the NATO military alliance.
As Zelenskyy arrived in Denmark, he announced that Ukraine has signed a deal with US company American company Swift Beat to produce drones for Ukraine’s military.
In a post to X, Zelenskyy said the company “foresees hundreds of thousands of drones this year alone, with the potential to significantly scale up production in the coming year”.
