Ahead of his arrival, Denmark announced a new €642 million military aid package for Ukraine, with most of the assistance to be allocated to air defense.
This was reported by Politiken.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Denmark with his team for meetings with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Danish parliamentarians and representatives of leading defense companies. His schedule also includes an audience with King Frederik X and a separate meeting with the prime ministers of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Finland.
“Our main priority is our security and strengthening our defenses. There will be new steps to enhance Ukraine’s defense capabilities — a substantial defense package from Denmark,” Zelenskyy said.
According to Politiken, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen announced a new military aid package for Ukraine worth 4.8 billion Danish kroner, or approximately €642 million. This is Denmark’s 32nd military aid package for Ukraine.
“We want to use today, when Zelenskyy is visiting, to show that he can count on us,” Rasmussen said.
Danish Defense Minister Jeppe Bruus clarified that most of the assistance would go toward air defense systems.
During meetings with Nordic leaders, discussions are expected to focus on military support for Ukraine, European security, Ukraine’s urgent air defense needs and the protection of energy infrastructure.
Zelenskyy thanked the Danish people and government for their unwavering support, emphasizing that Denmark has remained one of Ukraine’s most reliable partners since the first days of the full-scale war.
