Ukraine's Defence Minister Rustem Umerov met with Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen in Copenhagen to discuss further development of the Danish model of direct financing of Ukrainian defense companies.
Umerov wrote about this on Facebook, Censor.net reports.
This initiative, launched by Denmark, has already proved its effectiveness by providing the Ukrainian Armed Forces with weapons worth €588 million in 2024.
"We are striving for even more. And in 2025, Denmark is ready to expand its support by attracting new partners and increasing contributions," Umerov said.
As noted, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, and Canada have already joined the Danish model. An important element of this initiative is the allocation of part of the profits from frozen Russian assets to finance the Ukrainian defense industry, which was also supported by the European Union.
One of the key areas of cooperation is the development of industrial partnerships, in particular in the field of radars, drones and electronic warfare. Umerov also stressed the importance of supplying spare parts for the rapid repair of armored vehicles, which will allow for more efficient use of the equipment provided on the battlefield.
"I am grateful to Mr Poulsen, his country, and people for the constructive dialogue and continued support," Umerov concluded.
