HM The Queen's New Year Address
Her Majesty the Queen dedicated her first greetings of her New Year address to the Ukrainian people.
On December 31th, Her Majesty made her traditional New Year address. This time, she dedicated the first part of her address to Ukraine.
"On 24 February, Ukraine was attacked. It is outrageous to witness the sufferings of the Ukrainian people. They are fighting heroically for their freedom. It makes a great impression on all of us.
Many Ukrainians have arrived in Denmark after the outbreak of the war, and the Danes have given them a warm welcome. Many have opened their home, workplace, football club – and their hearts. When we help each other, we bring light to darkness. It is the least we can do.
Many of the refugees are women and children. Naturally, they are deeply worried about family members left behind, but despite that, many of them have a strong wish to be able to provide for themselves and to establish the most normal everyday life possible for their children. Naturally, they all hope to be able to return home as soon as possible.
My first New Year greetings tonight go to the Ukrainians in Denmark and to the entire Ukrainian people. May this terrible war come to an end and may your proud and beautiful country flourish again".
