Funds have also been allocated for the creation of significant naval potential, drones and the production of missile components – a total of about 2.2 billion Danish kroner (about €295 million), according to the website of the Ministry of Defense of Denmark.
– In March, I visited a number of defense industry enterprises in Kyiv, and it became clear that there is a great potential for future cooperation capable of providing Ukraine with the equipment in demand that will help change the situation on the battlefield, – emphasized Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen.
According to him, direct investment in the Ukrainian defense industry is a new initiative that may inspire other countries to do the same, “so that Ukraine itself can produce more military equipment, which it urgently needs.”
In total, Denmark has already allocated 17 packages of military aid to Ukraine for almost DKK 41.4 billion (€5.9 billion).
