Denmark announces the start of preparations for the 16th military aid package to Ukraine and hopes to provide F-16 fighter jets by summer.
Denmark announced the 15th package of military assistance to Ukraine yesterday and has already begun preparing the next package. This was stated by Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen during a joint press conference with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, UNN reports.
"We have already announced the 15th aid package to Ukraine and have already started preparing the next package. We understand how much you need our support to save lives. This package includes weapons, drones, and demining systems," Frederiksen said.
In addition, Frederiksen noted that the bilateral security agreement envisages long-term cooperation between the countries and expressed hope that many more bilateral documents will be signed and a strong partnership will be formed.
"This will show Russia and Putin very clearly that you have many partners and friends who remain with you and on whom you can count. Allies and partners must act.
