Denmark pledges $250m in military aid to Ukraine
Denmark announced on Tuesday that it would send 1.7 billion kroner ($250 million) in military aid to Ukraine "to support the forthcoming Ukrainian offensive," according to the country's defense ministry.
According to a statement from the Danish Ministry of Defence, the donation package included mine clearing vehicles, ammunition, and financial assistance for the acquisition of air defense systems.
"The equipment in the donation package is essential to pave the way for Ukrainian tanks and mechanised infantry on the front line," acting Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen was quoted in the statement as saying.
"The new military donation package is our largest to date, bringing total Danish support to almost 11 billion kronor," Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said.
Denmark pledged 19 French-made Caesar howitzers to Ukraine in January, including some that were still on order, and announced in April that it was purchasing 14 Leopard 2 tanks for Ukraine in collaboration with the Netherlands.
