Denmark’s government announced that it would increase its military aid to Ukraine by 4.4 billion kroner ($630 million), augmenting its existing Ukraine aid fund. This move comes as Ukraine seeks greater support from Western allies against russia’s ongoing invasion.
The aid fund, initially established to provide assistance to Ukraine from 2023 to 2028, has now seen its total military aid commitment from Denmark rise to 64.8 billion kroner ($9.3 billion).

Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen stated, “Denmark has been among the most proactive donor nations since the full-scale invasion start.” He added, “We will maintain this stance, and I’m pleased that a significant majority of Folketing (Denmark’s parliament) parties are backing the allocation of an additional 4.4 billion kroner in 2024 for military aid within the Ukraine fund.”
The government highlighted previous aid contributions to Ukraine, including artillery, ammunition, missiles, tanks, drones and air defense systems.
