In September, the next step was taken on the way to supplying Ukraine with weapons through its own defense industry, Folketidende writes.
Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen signed a letter of intent in Kyiv. This means that by the end of the year, Ukrainian-made weapons worth 4.2 billion Danish kroner will be delivered, funded by Denmark and the EU
Denmark will allocate DKK 1.3 billion. In addition, DKK 2.9 billion will come from frozen Russian assets that Denmark will unblock on behalf of the EU.
Investments will be directed to drones, missiles, and artillery, which will be produced in Ukraine by Ukrainian companies, not in other countries. Thus, Ukraine will, among other things, receive weapons faster.
