Denmark contributed the most, with US351 million, followed by the United Kingdom US67 million, Norway US45 million, and the European Union US436 million.
Ekonomichna Pravda reported that the ZBROYARI diplomatic fundraising campaign includes all key agencies.
Officials actively look for armament manufacturers before submitting proposals to partners.
To maintain the favourable perception of the Ukrainian defence sector, they select businesses with the lowest risks and the equipment most preferred on the front lines.
The partner country chooses the alternative that provides the best conditions for itself.
For example, Denmark has contracted a plant that produces Bohdana selfpropelled artillery systems, Lithuania has bought Palianytsia missiles, and the Netherlands has purchased naval and FPV drones.
All the weapons will be delivered to the Ukrainian defence forces.
Background In August this year, Ukrainian defence forces used the Ukrainian longrange Palianytsia drone missile for the first time against a military target in the territory of the Crimean peninsula temporarily occupied by Russia. Support UP or become our patron
