Details
The signed documents detail the agreements recorded earlier and provide for purchases from Ukrainian defense companies worth about 535 million euros. Funding will come from the governments of Denmark and Sweden and from the interest on frozen russian assets.
In the context of a full-scale war, the support of our international partners is critical to strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities. Denmark was the first country to purchase weapons directly from our defense companies. The "Danish model" of cooperation is not only solidarity, but also determination to support our fight for freedom and sovereignty
