Denmark says it outgives much bigger countries for its size—its 32nd Ukraine package is mostly air defense
The foreign minister calls Denmark the biggest donor to Ukraine relative to its size, and most of the new package goes to air defense.
Denmark announced a 32nd military aid package for Ukraine worth DKK 4.8 billion ($719 million) on the same day President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the country. The majority of the funds, DKK 4.8 billion ($719 million), will be allocated to bolster Ukraine's air defense capabilities. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen disclosed the decision after consulting the Danish parliament's Foreign Policy Committee.
The remaining portion of the package, DKK 150 million ($22 million), will be directed towards Ukraine's energy sector to address the ongoing power outages caused by Russian strikes. Rasmussen emphasized that the timing of this aid announcement coincided with Zelenskyy's visit, emphasizing Denmark's commitment to supporting Ukraine. Both ministers refrained from specifying the exact weapons included in the package.
