Mette Frederiksen has met with Trump

Mette Frederiksen (S), the Danish Prime Minister, along with colleagues from the Nordic countries, Baltic states, and the Netherlands, spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

She posted about it on social media, Instagram.

- We spoke with the American president, Donald Trump, and Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

- And emphasized the importance of an arms truce. As Russia also respects. And a peace treaty, which Ukraine can see itself in, is stated in the post.

The Prime Minister is in Oslo in connection with a meeting in the Joint Expeditionary Force, JEF, which has a special focus on security in the northern region.

She met with government leaders from the Nordic and Baltic countries, as well as Holland and the United Kingdom, who are part of the JEF countries, to discuss security and stability.

News agency Reuters writes that Trump and Zelenskyy spoke on the phone earlier in the evening.

Here, Zelenskyy told Trump that Ukraine is ready for a 30-day truce, which "begins in this minute."

Trump wrote on his social media, Truth Social, that the U.S. is urging a "30-day unconditional truce."

- Hopefully, an acceptable truce will be observed, and both countries will be held accountable for ensuring that these direct negotiations are unimpeachable, he said.

It is unclear whether the two spoke on the phone alone or only with the government leaders from JEF.

Mette Frederiksen continued on Instagram, that "now Russia must deliver."

- At the same time, we must ensure that Ukraine becomes stronger. Now and in the long term. And maintain pressure on Russia with sanctions. It is crucial for the future of the entire Europe, the Prime Minister said.

It was expected that Zelenskyy would participate in the JEF meeting virtually, wrote the Prime Minister's Office in a press release Thursday morning.

It was not announced that Trump would participate.

The cooperation in JEF was established as an extension of the NATO summit in Wales in 2014 to promote regional cooperation among European allies.
