Ukraine and Denmark have signed an agreement on the establishment of Ukrainian defense production facilities in Denmark. Denmark has become the first country to which Ukraine exports its own defense technologies for production and supply to the Ukrainian army.
Ukraine and Denmark have signed an agreement that paves the way for the creation of Ukrainian defense production facilities in Denmark. This was reported on Telegram by Herman Smetanin, Minister of Strategic Industries of Ukraine, according to UNN.
Details
The signing ceremony took place in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark: the agreement was signed by Smetanin and Danish Minister of Industry Morten Bødskov.
As Smetanin noted, in 2024, Denmark was the first to start financing weapons production by Ukrainian companies. As of today, Denmark has become the first country to which Ukraine exports its own defense technologies for production, scaling, and supply to the Ukrainian army.
This is a unique case of international cooperation for the Ukrainian defense industry. I am extremely grateful to Denmark for such significant assistance to the Ukrainian defense industry, for timely decisions and high-level support for defense cooperation.
