In brief

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the package would fund strike drones, interceptors and ammunition for F-16s, alongside the PURL programme. Denmark also approved €20 million in energy support for the Kherson region.

Denmark has allocated a €645 million defence package for Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said after meeting Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, LIGA.net reported. The funding is intended primarily for strike drones, interceptors, ammunition for F-16s and the PURL programme.

Zelenskyy described the support as timely amid Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy, water and heating infrastructure. LIGA.net did not specify how the funding would be divided or give procurement and delivery schedules.

Denmark also decided to provide a separate €20 million energy package for the Kherson region. The talks covered additional humanitarian assistance and direct support for Ukrainian communities, Zelenskyy said.

Other topics included cooperation under Drone Deal, joint production and work on the Freyja anti-ballistic missile programme, according to LIGA.net.
