Denmark is once again making a major military aid package available to Ukraine. According to several international sources, the package is worth 4.8 billion Danish kroner, equivalent to approximately €630 million to €643 million.
The new aid was announced on Tuesday during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to Denmark. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen announced the amount, Anadolu and the Ukrainian outlet Hromadske report.
The precise composition of the package had not yet been fully detailed in the first public reports. Hromadske writes that, alongside military aid, additional emergency funding will be made available for Ukraine’s energy sector. Anadolu reports that the package consists of military equipment, but does not provide a complete list of deliveries.
The announcement comes as European countries once again seek to coordinate their support for Ukraine. In Paris, G7 foreign ministers are discussing the war and further support for Kyiv this week, among other matters. The Netherlands is also working on financial and military support within a European framework, while European countries are discussing their role in possible future security guarantees.
Denmark has for years been among the countries providing relatively large amounts of support to Ukraine. The Danish government previously reported that tens of billions of kroner in military aid had been pledged since Russia’s full-scale invasion. Those earlier amounts included various packages and multi-year contributions; according to the reports, the amount announced on Tuesday comes on top of them.
The aid is politically intended to keep Ukraine’s defence against Russia at an effective level. It has not yet been made public whether or when all components of the new package will be delivered. Nor is it clear what share will come directly from Danish stockpiles and what share will be financed through purchases from the Ukrainian or European defence industry.
For the Netherlands, the announcement is particularly relevant because it fits into the broader European debate over burden-sharing and military production. A larger number of separate national packages could help Ukraine in the short term, but also makes it more important for European countries to coordinate their deliveries and funding.
