will provide Ukraine with its 30th military aid package totaling about DKK4.4
billion ($672 million), the Danish Defense Ministry announced
on June 30.
The package includes extra deliveries of ammunition, weapons, and other equipment, as well as funding for Danish training programs for Ukrainian soldiers. About DKK1.3 billion ($200 million) will be spent on orders from Ukraine’s own defense industry.
The ministry said the measures will strengthen Kyiv’s ability to supply large numbers of drones, artillery systems, and ammunition on short timelines. Additional funds were earmarked specifically for long‑range artillery ammunition.
“There is a new dynamic on the battlefield in Ukraine,” Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said.
“That does not mean we can relax. On the contrary, we must maintain support for Ukraine and increase pressure on Russia to strengthen Ukraine’s negotiating position.”
Denmark remains one of Ukraine’s most active and visible backers. Since 2022, it has provided about DKK76.8 billion ($11.7 billion) in military assistance, the ministry said.
“Europe’s defense begins in Ukraine. That is why the
government is determined to continue supporting Ukraine and, together with
allies and partners, to work to secure the strongest possible position for
Ukraine now and in the future,” Defense Minister Jeppe Bruus Christensen said.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
