Denmark is providing Ukraine with the 25th aid package worth DKK 6.7 billion (USD 996 million) for 2025-2027.

According to the Danish Ministry of Defence, the package includes air defence, artillery, and a financial support base for the Ukrainian Air Force. 

‘The security situation is developing rapidly. Therefore, it is extremely important that Denmark continues to provide massive support to Ukraine. Since the beginning of the war, Denmark has been one of the countries leading the way in donor work. With the 25th donation package, we are underlining our support for Ukraine in both the short and long term,’ said Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen.

‘Today we are presenting a new package of donations from Denmark that increases Ukraine's fighting power. Because Ukraine's security is crucial for the future of the whole of Europe. I hope that our donation can inspire other allies to provide even more support,’ said Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen.

For the period 2025 - 2027, Denmark plans to allocate DKK 1.4 billion to financially support the supply of artillery and ammunition through its allies.

The funds will also be used to strengthen air defence, support the Drone Coalition and the IT Coalition.

‘It is absolutely important that we help Ukrainians build their defence industry. The Danish model has shown that Ukrainian potential produces and supplies equipment for the Ukrainian fight for freedom. Denmark must continue to invest in this, and I hope that other countries will follow our example to an even greater extent,’ says Troels Lund Poulsen.
