Denmark-Norway has confirmed itself as a co-belligerent in the war on the side of Poland-Lithuania, Saxony and Russia.
It's aims are the reversal of the Treaty of Roskilde.

The Empire of all the Russias and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth are sorry to say that Swedish dithering in the negotiations has led to the occupation of Skane. Let peace come to the Baltic.

Frederick IV dispatches his fastest messengers by yacht to Charles XII of Sweden, informing him of the state of war existing between Denmark-Norway and Sweden.
He also informs him that his army is marching on Stockholm at a lightening pace, to come to terms with the allies unless he wants to see Stockholm burn, he gives the King 48 hours to make his decision.

Charles sends word to both Pyotr and Augustus. He is happy (well not really, but it's preferable to the alternative) to agree to peace with Poland and Russia as stipulated in the first draft by Augustus.
Denmark may have declared war, but their claims to have made any advance are fallacious. Their transports are tied up with the Dutch fleet in the Sound and there is no telling how many will survive. There are no Danish boots on Swedish soil and their cowardly declaration of war during peace talks tells tales of a man who values war over peace and self over honour.

Russia is happy to agree to the stipulated terms, but suggests that for the good of all Europe Sweden make a separate peace with Denmark.

Enough. The peace will be signed as agreed above, with the addition of peace between Denmark and Sweden, and no hostilities between the Anglo-Dutch and Denmark.

No, the Anglo-Dutch tried the Sound. They will pay the toll in one way or another.

So be it, the Commonwealth and Saxony will accept the terms agreed, together with the Russians if they too approve.

(As in - the battle of the sound will still occur) but Denmark sees no need for continued hostilities bar the repelling of any attempt to break Danish sovereignty).
