A new donation package worth 5.8 billion DKK
(US$821 million) including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, ammunition and
anti-craft guns has "almost emptied" the storages of its armed
forces.
“With today’s donation package ..., we have almost emptied the storages
of the Armed Forces. This is why we are now looking into more targeted
joint purchases and international collaborations that are tailored to meet
Ukrainian needs,” said Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs Lars
Rasmussen in a statement Sunday.
Denmark is sending the twelfth and largest donation package to Ukraine since
the (Russian) invasion, the Danish ministry of defense said.
The donation package is conditional on grant authorization from The Finance
Committee.
“Countries like Denmark has to maintain their military and economic support to
Ukraine, as it is essential for their ability to keep defending themselves
against Russia’s illegal invasion. Denmark is contributing to this with the
largest economic support so far within the framework of the group of countries
who, under American leadership, meet continuously at the base in Ramstein,”
said tMinister of Defence Troels Lund Poulsen.
