Denmark is also providing Ukraine with 21 demining robots, 15 generators for military needs, 15,000 sets of clothing to protect against rain, nine mobile heavy equipment repair stations and six hangar tents.

Quote: "The armed forces have started preparations for the free transfer so that the equipment can be transferred to Ukraine as soon as possible," the Danish Ministry emphasises.

Funds for this aid package were taken from the fund for civil, military and economic aid to Ukraine, the creation of which was announced earlier on Wednesday.
