"May your proud and beautiful country flourish again": Queen of Denmark addresses Ukrainians

This is stated on the Queen's official website.

Margrethe II began her New Year's speech with a greeting to Ukrainians.

“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,” she noted. 

The Queen noted that Denmark sheltered many Ukrainian refugees, most of whom are women and children. She said that helping each other shines a light in the darkness, and that “it's 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,” the Queen noted. 

In her greeting, Margrethe II said that the crisis caused by the war was reminiscent of the “energy and inflation crisis of the 1970s.”

“As was the case then, many companies feel under pressure. The hard times then meant that it was necessary to act and perform in new ways, and for a time new habits were adopted; but the hurdles were overcome, and society moved on. We will manage this time, too; but we must be prepared to exercise patience and assist each other,” the ruler noted.
