Danes and the royal couple showed their support for Ukraine on the anniversary.

Today, Denmark also marked the fourth anniversary of the war in Ukraine.

The royal couple attended a church service for Ukraine in Holmen’s Church in Copenhagen this afternoon, joining politicians and other leaders to commemorate the fourth anniversary of the start of the war in Ukraine.

In Ukraine, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen (S) and, among others, Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen (V) participated in a memorial event in Kyiv alongside several other European heads of state and government.

Meanwhile, the government was represented in Holmen’s Church by, among others, Finance Minister Nicolai Wammen (S) and Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen (M). Also present were the Speaker of the Folketing, Søren Gade (V), the leader of the Socialist People’s Party (SF), Pia Olsen Dyhr, and the leader of the Danish People’s Party, Inger Støjberg.
