Details

A good meeting with Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen. There is a new €645 million defense package for Ukraine. These are primarily funds for the procurement of drones—attack and interceptor drones—as well as ammunition for F-16s and PURL. A very timely and substantial reinforcement, precisely when Russia is conducting its ballistic operation against our energy infrastructure, water supply, heating, and everything that makes normal life possible

In addition, the parties discussed further humanitarian support.

Today, on the eve of the fourth anniversary of Kherson’s liberation from the Russians, Denmark has also decided to support our people specifically in the Kherson region. There is a €20 million energy package for the region. It is very important that Denmark is focusing on direct support for our communities. Much has been done in the Mykolaiv region thanks to these efforts. We expect them to continue. We also discussed the results of our work under the Drone Deal framework, the development of joint production, and work on the FREYJA anti-ballistic program. Thank you to Mette, the government, the parliament, and all the Danish people for their unwavering support, truly strong decisions, and leadership in protecting lives and values

Reminder

Democrats in the U.S. Congress are preparing a $15 billion aid package for Ukraine. The package may include energy assistance, air defense, and sanctions against the russian federation.
