The Danish government announced another package of military aid to Ukraine. Its cost will be one billion Danish kroner ($142 million).
The press service of the Danish government writes about it.
The Armed Forces will receive missiles for air defense systems, ammunition for small arms and heavy machine guns, as well as anti-tank mines.
In addition, Ukraine will receive 21 demining robots, 15 generators for military needs, and nine mobile heavy equipment repair stations.
"Ukraine does not have enough ammunition, so the donation package contains materials that Ukraine specifically asked for. I am proud that we in Denmark can fulfill this wish," said Acting Minister of Defense Troels Lund Poulsen.
- The Danish government agreed to create a fund in the amount of seven billion Danish kroner (one billion dollars) for civil, military and economic assistance to Ukraine. The funds of the fund are intended for assistance in 2023. In addition to this, in 2024-2027, funds are reserved that can contribute to covering the costs of replacing military equipment. These funds are tied to military donations made in 2022 and 2023.
