Ukraine and Denmark Sign Ten-Year Security Agreement

The governments of Ukraine and Denmark have signed a ten-year security agreement.

This news was reported by The Local website.

“The agreement means that future military and civilian support will be established in a framework for the next 10 years in a bilateral political agreement,” Denmark’s foreign ministry stated.

The support will be financed by Denmark’s Ukraine Foundation, currently valued at DKK 69.1 billion, it said.

Denmark is the fourth-biggest donor of military aid to Ukraine, according to recent data from the Germany-based Kiel Institute for the World Economy.

“Denmark is one of the countries supporting Ukraine the most, and I’m proud,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told reporters.

Denmark has committed itself to supporting Ukraine’s membership in NATO and the European Union.

Denmark’s security commitments include continuing to provide military assistance and training to the Ukrainian military.

“It also heralds a much closer cooperation between Denmark and Ukraine, which among other things involves cyber and intelligence cooperation,” stated Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen.

Militarnyi previously reported that the Danish government announced a new tranche of military aid to Ukraine, which will include artillery shells and air defense ammunition.

Denmark will finance a major new military aid package of approximately DKK 1.7 billion ($247.4 million), which will be the 15th since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion.

Through contact with the Ministry of Defense of the Czech Republic, the Danish Ministry of Defense has funded the purchase of 15,000 units of 155-mm artillery ammunition, which will be delivered to Ukraine within a few months.

Danish officials also announced the transfer of equipment and ammunition for unnamed air defense systems to Ukraine.

This presumably refers to the AIM-9 and AIM-120 missiles in service with the country and used for Ukraine’s NASAMS systems.
