Details: The new package will provide weapons from Denmark's military reserves, funding for air defence systems in cooperation with Germany and additional contributions to the UK-led International Fund for Ukraine.
Additional funds will be allocated for expanding training programmes for Ukrainian soldiers.
Quote: "The 21st aid package is designed to provide as much military support as possible to meet Ukraine’s urgent needs while also supporting Denmark’s ambition to help build Ukraine’s long-term defence capabilities," said Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen.
He also noted that the Danish government is working on the possibility of purchasing weapons, including drones, directly from Ukrainian manufacturers.
The funding is subject to approval by Denmark's parliamentary finance committee.
