Denmark has allocated 645 million euros to Ukraine for strike drones and other weapons

Denmark has prepared a new package of defense aid for Ukraine totaling 645 million euros. The funds will be used to purchase attack drones, interceptor drones, ammunition for F-16 fighter jets, and to support the PURL initiative. 

According to the head of state, this reinforcement is extremely timely in light of enemy attacks on the energy sector and water and heat supply systems. In addition, Copenhagen decided to allocate 20 million euros for the energy needs of the Kherson region on the eve of the fourth anniversary of its liberation, and continues to support the Mykolaiv region. 

During the talks, the parties also discussed the development of joint defense production under the Drone Deal framework and the FREYJA anti-ballistic program. The President thanked the government, parliament, and citizens of Denmark for their consistent assistance.
