🇺🇦🇩🇰 I met with the Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of Denmark Troels Lund Poulsen.
I thanked the Danish Government, the Parliament and all Danish people for their continued support of Ukraine's resilience and defence capability.
I am grateful to Denmark for its large-scale military assistance and the recent allocation of the 16th military aid package, which includes the artillery we need.
Denmark was the first Scandinavian country to sign a security cooperation agreement with Ukraine. And we really appreciate it. In addition, Denmark is a member of eight out of nine coalitions to help Ukraine with various types of weapons.
These are the artillery coalition, the armoured vehicles coalition, the aviation coalition, the IT coalition, the air defence coalition, the mine action coalition, the fleet strengthening coalition, and the drone coalition.

She was 39 years old. She was from the village of Mykolaivka. She worked at a butter factory for 12 years.
For the past two years, she had been living in Odesa with her family. She got a job as a sales assistant in a clothing store. Later, she quit and took care of household chores.
This year, she planned to get married to her common-law husband.
"She was a kind, bright person. She never offended anyone in her life, she came to the aid of everyone in need," said her sister Tatiana.

Donald Trump likes to assign nicknames. Now he has one of his own. Broke Don.
The frontline as of the end of the day on 23 March 2024 - DeepState
▶️ Bilomoskovsky, Siverskyi and Belgorodskyi sections - clashes are still ongoing in the border areas, although their intensity has significantly decreased. In response, the enemy decided to use anti-aircraft guns in Sumy and Chernihiv regions.
▶️ Svatove section - the enemy continues assault actions near Terny, Yampolivka and in Serebryanske forestry. The enemy had successes at the north-eastern point 81.5.
▶️ Bakhmut section - Katsaps are conducting a massive attack across a wide width of the contact line. The enemy is making progress near Chasovyi Yar and Ivanivske. This development worsens the operational situation around the town.
▶️ Avdiivka section - heavy fighting continues in Berdychi, the enemy wants to capture a street that runs parallel to the one they occupied earlier. The Katsaps have occupied the main part of Orlivka and are trying to use the reeds to make a run for it south of Semenivka. The situation near Tonenke has deteriorated significantly, there is no communication with the positions south of the village, so it is still impossible to establish the exact line of contact in that area. The enemy continues to advance in Pervomayske and near Nevelske to improve their tactical position. South of Krasnohorivka (M), the enemy has entrenched itself and continues to assault the town. The situation is just as difficult in Georgievka, near Pobeda and north of Novomykhailivka, where the f***ers cannot calm down, continuing to send manpower to their deaths. The information about the enemy's 4-km advance near Vuhledar is a fake by idiots.
▶️ Berdiansk section - heavy fighting continues near Urozhayne, most of the attacks have been repelled, but the enemy continues to try to gain a foothold there. Near Staromayorske, the Katsaps had partial success.
▶️ Zaporizhzhia section - in Robotyne, the enemy suffered heavy losses in the school. To the south-west and west of Verbove, the katsap is actively trying to push the Ukrainian Defence Forces back from the positions they took last year. The fighting continues.
▶️ The situation in the Tavriya sector remains unchanged.
🗂 Analytical note. Despite a certain stabilisation of the front at the beginning of the month, the enemy has been conducting a large number of attacks and banzai attacks over the past 10 days, before which it has been abundantly watering the positions of the Defence Forces with FABs/CABs. The latter have become a miracle weapon for the katsap, bringing results and having virtually no countermeasures. In parallel with the enemy's fierce pressure, some army processes are being optimised and improved. As the saying goes, a good spoonful goes a long way, and now, due to mistakes made in the second half of 2023, the Defence Forces are forced to suffer losses in both people and territory. The enemy is attracting a wide potential in manpower, which is gradually depleting our available resources. While our partners are worried about oil refineries and Tatdzhik terrorists, the situation at the front is deteriorating.
