President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in his evening address, spoke about the details of a new military aid package from Denmark.
Denmark is allocating Ukraine a new defence support package worth €645 million. In particular, it includes additional ammunition for F-16 fighter jets used to intercept Russian jet-powered drones.
"The talks were important, and there are results for Ukraine. The biggest is the package from Denmark: €645 million — specifically a defence package. In particular, there will be more ammunition for the F-16s that shoot down Russian jet-powered ‘Shahed’ drones. There will also be energy support: we discussed specific solutions for Kherson, for Dnipro, for Kharkiv and Odesa, for Sumy, for Kyiv and other of our cities that need support," the President said.
Zelenskyy thanked Denmark for its support and stressed the importance of strengthening Ukraine’s air defences.
"There is already an energy package specifically for Kherson — from Denmark. Thank you very much. There will be additional sanctions against Russia over this war: we discussed this with Britain.
Meetings with the President of France, the Prime Minister of Italy, the Prime Minister of Britain, and the Prime Minister of Poland were very important. We also spoke with the President of Lithuania. I want to thank the President of the European Council, António Costa, for his support and for very important, wise advice. We are working to ensure there is more momentum for Ukraine’s accession to the European Union," the head of state added.
