La Danimarca stanzia 292 milioni di dollari per rafforzare la difesa aerea dell’Ucraina, afferma il ministro

The announcement comes amid intensified Russian attacks against Ukraine, including one of the largest aerial strikes on Dec. 13, which targeted energy infrastructure across Ukraine.

The package includes financial support for operation of Ukraine F-16 fighter jets used to counter Russian air targets. “One of Ukraine’s most urgent needs right now is the ability to protect itself from Russian air strikes. That is why we are prioritizing more support for air defense,” Poulsen said.

Denmark has provided Ukraine with about $7.5 billion worth of military aid since the beginning of Russia full-scale invasion in 2022. It was also the first country to offer military aid to Ukraine through direct purchases from Ukraine’s defense industry.

Denmark is part of a broader coalition effort to bolster aid to Ukraine ahead of the uncertain future of U.S. aid under incoming President Trump. On Nov. 27, the heads of government from #Denmark, #Estonia, #Finland, #Latvia, #Norway, #Poland, and #Sweden reaffirmed commitments to supporting Ukraine
