Denmark has agreed to help fund the construction of a rocket fuel production facility for Ukraine's defense company, Fire Point. This move is part of Denmark's broader efforts to bolster Ukraine's defense industry and safeguard critical weapon manufacturing from potential Russian attacks. The Danish government will provide a loan guarantee of $113 million to a subsidiary of Fire Point, a Ukrainian firm that manufactures missiles and drones.
The new facility, to be built in southern Denmark, is slated to start operations by the end of 2027. By constructing the plant outside of Ukraine, Denmark aims to protect the facility from Russian aggression while simultaneously increasing Ukraine's access to vital materials for its missile development programs. This collaboration represents a significant step in enhancing defense cooperation between Denmark and Ukraine, enabling Ukrainian weapon makers to boost production while simultaneously mitigating the risk of attacks on strategically important facilities by Russian forces.
