Zelenskyy Meets with Danish PM in Mykolaiv

Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy greets Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen upon her visit to Ukraine, Monday, January 30, 2023.

The two leaders met in the city of Mykolaiv and toured a local hospital treating wounded Ukrainian soldiers.

“It is important for our warriors to be able to undergo not only physical, but also psychological rehabilitation,” Zelenskyy said on his messaging app channel.

Ukraine said Monday that Russian attacks had killed five more civilians and wounded another 13 in the last 24 hours, but the two sides remained deadlocked in tough fighting in eastern Ukraine.

Authorities said the casualties included a woman who was killed and three others who were wounded in Russian attacks on the northeast city of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city. Russian forces had seized much of the Kharkiv region early in the nearly yearlong war, but Ukrainian counteroffensives mostly regained control last August.

Ukraine said Russian strikes in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson killed three people Sunday and injured six. Zelenskyy said that residential buildings, a hospital, a school, a bus station, a post office and a bank were also damaged by the shelling.
