Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has arrived in Denmark in his third surprise visit over the weekend after visiting the Netherlands on Sunday and Sweden on Saturday, securing the delivery of F-16 fighter jets in the process.

Zelensky was preparing to meet Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, the royal family, party leaders and business representatives, he said on Telegram.

"We keep working to strengthen Ukraine and protect our people," he wrote on the social media platform.
