"It is crucial that we support Ukraine's fight for freedom in every possible way. I am very pleased that Denmark has established a framework with Ukraine on how to best use the 4.2 billion Danish kroner provided by the EU and Denmark,” said Troels Lund Poulsen.
According to the report, the funding will consist of 1.3 billion Danish kroner from the Danish state budget and 2.9 billion Danish kroner from frozen Russian assets on behalf of the EU.
"Denmark is a leader in supplying weapons directly from the Ukrainian defense industry, which strengthens Ukraine's ability to produce the weapons it needs,” he added.
The ministry noted that this agreement continues a successful pilot project in which Denmark has already delivered 18 Ukrainian-made artillery shells to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
