The key elements of the package include air defence, artillery and financial support for Ukraines Air Force.
The security situation is changing rapidly.
Therefore, it is crucial that Denmark continues its largescale support for Ukraine With the 25th aid package, we reaffirm our commitment to Ukraine both in the short and long term, said Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lkke Rasmussen noted that the new package would enhance Ukraines combat capability.
Ukraines security is crucial for the future of all of Europe.
I hope our support will inspire other allies to provide even greater assistance, he emphasised.
In particular, DKK 1.4 billion about US207.3 million will be allocated between 2025 and 2027 for the transfer of artillery systems and ammunition.
Additionally, funds will be directed towards air defence, the drone coalition and the IT coalition.
Funding will also be allocated to increase contributions to Ukraines defence industry, taking into account the positive experience of the Danish model.
Danish funding over several years will also support ongoing efforts to encourage allies to contribute through this model.
The Danish model has demonstrated that Ukraine has the potential to produce and supply equipment for its fight for freedom.
Denmark must continue investing in this, and I hope other countries will follow our example even more, Poulsen stated.
Background In February, Denmark, which is overseeing the reconstruction of Mykolaiv Oblast, allocated a new support package for the oblast amounting to 26 million.
Recently, the drone coalition, which also includes Denmark, allocated 20 million from a joint fund to purchase Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance ISR drones for the Ukrainian defence forces.
