During the meeting, the minister highlighted President Volodymyr Zelensky's Victory Plan, stressing the importance of Ukraine securing an invitation to NATO and achieving full European Union membership.

Umerov emphasized that the coalition of authoritarian states led by Russia must face a decisive response from the free world. To achieve this, Ukraine needs long-range weapons and the capability to strike the enemy's military facilities.

"Special attention was given to deepening cooperation with Denmark and other Scandinavian countries within the framework of the Victory Plan. This includes training and equipping our units, developing the defense industry, and sharing technologies and experiences," the minister said.
