Denmark announces renewed military package for Ukraine

Denmark vowed to support Ukraine with renewed military aid during a press conference with Nordic leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Oslo.

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced her government would present an aid package totaling almost €1 billion ($1.1 billion) to the Danish parliament on Thursday.

If adopted by parliament, the package would include things Ukraine is currently in need of, like ammunition, tanks, drones, and other equipment.

Zelensky unexpectedly landed in Oslo on Wednesday morning to participate in a second Nordic-Ukrainian summit. The leaders from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland once again emphasized continued support for Ukraine, which has been defending itself against a full-scale Russian invasion for almost two years now.

“Now is not the time to tire of a war that brave Ukrainian soldiers are fighting every day. … no doubt that we will support Ukraine’s fight as long as it is needed,” said Frederiksen.
