DENMARK BECOMES FIRST NORDIC COUNTRY TO ENTER AN AGREEMENT WITH UKRAINE ON SECURITY COOPERATION AND LONG-TERM SUPPORT
Denmark has pledged support for Ukraine for a ten-year period to Ukraine. The agreement on security commitments comprises bilateral long-term military and civilian support based on Denmark’s positions of strength on F-16 combat aircraft, the reconstruction of Mykolaiv, and support for Ukraine’s reform efforts.
Denmark’s security commitments will be funded by the Danish Ukraine Fund which is financed until 2028. The total Danish support to Ukraine currently amounts to approx. EUR 9.3 billion.
“With Denmark’s security commitments we are making a political pledge that secures our long-term support for Ukraine. We are sending the unequivocal signal that Ukraine can count on Denmark for as long as necessary. It is crucial that we support Ukraine now and in the long term, and it must be clear that Ukraine does not stand alone in its defence against Russia’s full-scale war of aggression,” says Minister for Foreign Affairs Lars Løkke Rasmussen.
