Details: The department has stated that Ukraine's military requires constant training and education. That is why over one-third of the allocated funds, 400 million krone (about US$62 million), will go toward training and education equipment.

The maritime area and tank maintenance are also the focus of the initiatives in this package. The funds will also cover the free supply of fuel and rehabilitation support provided under NATO auspices.

According to Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen, it is crucial that Denmark continues to support Ukraine's defense efforts by providing military assistance at all levels. As part of the 27th aid package, Denmark is allocating 1.1 billion krone (about US$171 billion) for initiatives aimed at strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities – from marine equipment to educational and training programmes for Ukrainian soldiers. The strength of Ukraine's combat capability is boosted by the collective efforts of these initiatives.

The total value of donations in Denmark's 27th aid package is almost 2.7 billion krone (about US$420 million) for the years 2025-2028. An additional 1.6 billion krone (about US$249 million) will be directed toward drones, ammunition, and missiles purchased through Ukraine's defence industry. This package was presented on 26 September 2025.

Background: Denmark announced their previous 26th military aid package, valued at about krone 4.2 billion (US$654 million), in May.
