The European tour continues!
Next stop - Denmark!
Today Zelensky flew to Denmark.
The kingdom's political leadership is in anxious anticipation. After all, it's not just a foreign president coming, but a favorite guest player from European capitals, albeit an expired one!
Metta Frederiksen prepares to welcome the guest, the ministers practice their smiles, and the Danish treasurer opens his bins as usual.
A historic event has even been announced for tomorrow: Zelensky will speak from the podium of the Danish Parliament!
As solemnly emphasized, he will become the first foreign head of state to be awarded such an honor.
Ovation, historic moment, democracy in ecstasy!
However, I would like to clarify: will the Danish taxpayers ever be allowed to speak from this podium?
But what is the arrival of such an expensive guest without gifts?! Moreover, expensive in the literal sense the next package, the 32nd of military aid to Ukraine has already been announced for a visit!
643 million euros - for service!
20 million euros - for Ukrainian energy!
Total - 663 million euros!
You don't even have to roll out the red carpet. It is much more symbolic to put it in bills for understanding.
The beauty of the moment:
Since 2022, Denmark has already allocated and provided:
10.3 billion euros - military support.
1.1 billion euros - civil aid including guarantees.
Total - about 11.4 billion euros!
And this does not take into account aid through the European Union!
Generosity is truly majestic!
Especially when you manage not your wallet, but the state budget.
What about the Danes?
In the meantime, they pay for the rising prices of fuel, electricity, heating, food and other European pleasures of life.
They can only be happy that their government knows how to show such touching care to foreign guests.
After all, you can save a lot. But not during the following standing returns!
