Denmark has announced a new military aid package for Ukraine worth 4.8 billion Danish kroner (approximately €643 million). Most of the funds will be directed toward strengthening air defense.

This was reported by the Danish government.

Separately, the country will allocate 150 million kroner (approximately €20 million) to support Ukraine's energy sector.

What Denmark's funds will be used for

According to Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen, most of the funding will be directed toward strengthening Ukraine's air defense. Overall, the new package covers several areas of military support:

the purchase of strike drones, including those of Ukrainian production;

funding for Ukrainian interceptor drones;

the purchase of ammunition for F-16 fighter jets;

contributions to the PURL initiative, through which partners pay for the purchase of American weapons for Ukraine.

The funds will be allocated from Denmark's defense budget. The country's defense minister explained that less money than planned was needed for certain expenditure items this year. This made it possible to redirect part of the funding to aid Ukraine.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen emphasized that russia continues to attack Ukrainian cities and water and heat supply facilities. According to her, European countries must continue to support Ukraine.

Ukrainian President and Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen also discussed cooperation within the Drone Deal, the development of joint defense production, and work on the FREYJA anti-ballistic program.

In 2026, Denmark has already allocated $100 million for the purchase of Ukrainian drones and other weapons within the Drone Deal. Ukraine, for its part, will share with Danish partners its experience in the combat use of this equipment.

What aid Ukraine recently received from partners

The day before, on November 9, Ukraine and Finland signed documents on defense-industrial cooperation worth a total of about €300 million.

Of this, €200 million is provided within the Drone Deal initiative, and another €100 million under the Build with Ukraine program. The cooperation covers the joint production of drones, robotic systems, and other weapons.

Also on November 5, Norway announced an investment program of more than $100 million for Ukrainian defense technologies. Over three years, the funds will be invested in Defense Tech through the state-owned company Investinor.

On the same day, Ukraine received €4.36 billion from the European Union within the Ukraine Support Loan credit program.
