Nordic and Baltic leaders will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Copenhagen on Wednesday to discuss additional support to help Ukraine fend off Russia's invasion, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's office said.
"The heads of state and government will discuss how the Nordic-Baltic countries can ensure further support for Ukraine on the frontline and in the negotiating room," it said in a statement.
Among topics for discussion will be the production of Ukrainian weapons on Danish territory, media in Denmark including broadcaster DR report.
Zelensky's visit in Denmark comes ahead of his involvement in talks between European leaders in Paris later this week.
NATO chief Mark Rutte said on Wednesday that he expected those talks to firm up plans on security guarantees for Ukraine, and pave the way to get a clearer picture on US involvement.
"Tomorrow will be an important meeting, so I expect tomorrow, or soon after tomorrow, to have clarity on what collectively we can deliver," Rutte told journalists.
"That means that we can engage even more intensely, also with the American side to see what they want to deliver in terms of their participation."
Zelensky will attend the talks in Paris on Thursday with leaders from a so-called coalition of the willing.
Spearheaded by France and Britain, the group of around 30 countries intends to provide support to Kyiv's military and possibly deploy some of its own soldiers to Ukraine if and when a ceasefire is agreed.
The deployment would aim to deter future Russian aggression.
US President Donald Trump, who has been pushing efforts to end the war, has said Washington could play a role supporting the Europeans.
But he has ruled out any American troops on the ground, and what exact commitments he would be willing to give remain vague.
