President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen during a trip to the southern Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv on Monday.
Video footage posted online by Zelenskyy's office showed the president greeting Frederiksen with a handshake on a snowy street before entering a hospital where they met soldiers wounded in Russia's invasion.
"It is important for our warriors to be able to undergo not only physical, but also psychological rehabilitation," Zelenskyy wrote on the Telegram messaging app. "I am grateful to all the medical workers who care about the health of our defenders. I wish them a speedy recovery!"
Denmark's defence ministry said earlier this month that Denmark would donate 19 French-made Caesar howitzer artillery systems to Ukraine.
The president said he had also met local officials while in Mykolaiv region, which has frequently been under attack by Russian forces since the invasion 11 months ago.
"The region is heroically withstanding all the attacks of the terrorists (Russian forces). During the visit, I held a meeting on the current situation in the region," he wrote.
"We discussed the operational situation in the south of Ukraine, the consequences of Russia's missile and drone attacks."
Talks also covered the state of the region's energy infrastructure and the region's long-term recovery, Zelenskyy said.
