Denmark Pledges USD760M Military Aid to Ukraine as Blackouts Bite
(MENAFN) Denmark will send Ukraine a military aid package worth 4.8 billion kroner ($760 million), Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said Tuesday, according to a public broadcaster.
Rasmussen unveiled the package, Denmark’s 32nd round of military assistance to Kyiv, after briefing parliament’s Foreign Policy Committee.
Copenhagen will also direct a further 150 million kroner ($24 million) toward Ukraine’s energy sector, the minister said.
The extra funding comes as winter conditions take hold. “People are already freezing in Ukraine. There are power outages on a level we haven’t seen since the war started,” Rasmussen said.
Rasmussen said the measures were meant to show Denmark’s lasting commitment to Kyiv, pointing to the visit to Denmark by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
