Denmark announces new €270 m aid package for Ukraine
The Danish government has announced an aid package worth 2 bn Danish kroner (approx. €268 m) for Ukraine.
On the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's main message is that Ukraine must establish the strongest position possible.
"In this regard, Denmark is allocating an additional 2 bn Danish kroner to Ukraine. The money will be spent, among other things, on ammunition for Ukrainian soldiers and the development of a brigade-sized Ukrainian force together with the Nordic and Baltic countries," the Danish government stated.
The Danish PM is taking part in official events in Kyiv, marking the third anniversary of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, along with the EU leadership and leaders of a number of European countries.
"I am proud that Denmark, together with the Nordic and Baltic countries, is at the forefront of supporting Ukraine. Now, we must hold on. Deliver more weapons. Faster. Donate to the Ukrainian defence industry, because we are at a crucial moment. What we do now will be decisive for future generations in Ukraine and Europe," Mette Frederiksen said.
The Danish government reminds that this is the sixth visit of the Prime Minister to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
The Swedish government plans to provide Ukraine with air defence systems worth 1.2 billion Swedish kronor (US$113 million).
Finland will contribute €4.5 million to support the second phase (2025-2027) of the Partnership Fund for a Resilient Ukraine (PFRU).
