Denmark to Provide Ukraine with a New $1 Billion Military Aid Package
The Danish government has decided to provide Ukraine with the 25th military assistance package worth DKK 6.7 billion (USD 970 million), which will support the country in the period from 2025 to 2027.
According to the Danish Ministry of Defence, this package is aimed at strengthening Ukraine's defence capabilities in both the short and long term.
‘The security situation is changing rapidly. Therefore, it is crucial that Denmark continues its large-scale support for Ukraine,’ said Danish Defence Minister Trolls Lund Poulsen.
The package includes DKK 1.4 billion (USD 203 million) for artillery capabilities and ammunition supplies through allied initiatives in 2025-2027. Additional funding has also been allocated for air defence, drone development and IT solutions.
In addition, Denmark will allocate DKK 2 billion (USD 290 million) in 2026-2027 to strengthen Ukraine's defence industry.
Poulsen stressed the importance of this investment, noting that Ukrainian manufacturers have demonstrated the ability to produce military equipment.
As The Gaze reported, Denmark will provide €130 million in guarantees for its companies that are ready to invest in Ukraine's defence industry. The Danish government, through the Danish Export Investment Fund, plans to guarantee up to 70% of investments in the Ukrainian defence industry to domestic companies. The total amount of the programme is DKK 1 billion (EUR 130 million).
In 2024, Denmark allocated DKK 4.4 billion (USD 637 million) for the Ukrainian defence industry.
