As stated in the announcement, Ukraine must adopt the strongest possible stance – and this is the main message from Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion by the aggressor country, Russia, into Ukraine.
"In this regard, Denmark is allocating an additional approximately 2 billion Danish kroner to Ukraine. The funds will be used, among other things, for ammunition for Ukrainian soldiers and the development of Ukrainian forces at the brigade level in collaboration with the Nordic and Baltic countries," the press service reports.
Frederiksen is participating in official events in Kyiv marking the third anniversary of the invasion alongside EU leadership and leaders from several European nations.
"I am proud that Denmark, along with the Nordic and Baltic countries, is at the forefront of supporting Ukraine. Now we must stand firm. Deliver more weapons. Quickly. Donate to the Ukrainian defense industry. Because we are at a critical moment. What we do now will be decisive for future generations in Ukraine and Europe," the minister believes.
This is already the sixth visit by the Prime Minister to Ukraine since Russia's invasion in 2022, the Danish government reminded.
