The donation is part of Denmark’s 64.8 billion kroner fund to aid Ukraine in its fight against Russia and is aimed at supporting the Ukrainian military’s urgent needs and strengthen its longer-term defense capabilities, the Danish Minister of Defense, Troels Lund Poulsen, said in a press release.

Denmark is also working on a decision for further purchases directly from the Ukrainian defense industry, including drones-related equipment, the minister said.
