Drone and interceptor procurement, F-16 ammunition and PURL: Denmark has new €645 million defense package for Ukraine – Zelenskyy. VIDEO
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to discuss a defense package, humanitarian support and the FREYJA programme.
Zelenskyy announced the meeting on his Telegram channel, Censor.NET reports.
Defense package
"There is a new €645 million defense package for Ukraine. It primarily includes funding to buy strike and interceptor drones and ammunition for F-16s, as well as funding for PURL. This is a very timely and substantial boost, just as Russia is conducting its ballistic missile campaign against our energy infrastructure, water supply, heating and everything that makes normal life possible," Zelenskyy said.
Humanitarian support
The two leaders also discussed additional humanitarian support. Today, on the eve of the fourth anniversary of Kherson’s liberation from Russian occupation, Denmark also decided to provide support specifically to Ukrainians in the Kherson region.
"There is a €20 million energy package for the region. It is very important that Denmark is focusing on supporting our communities directly," he added.
Zelenskyy said much had been accomplished in Mykolaiv region thanks to these efforts.
What else was discussed
Zelenskyy and Frederiksen also discussed the results of the Drone Deal initiative, the development of joint production facilities and work on the FREYJA anti-ballistic programme.
"I thank Mette, the government, parliament and all the Danish people for their unwavering support, their truly strong decisions and their leadership in protecting lives and values," Zelenskyy added.
