Details: The new package includes an additional 100 million kroner for the Danish model – the production of weapons in Ukraine.
Denmark will also allocate over 370 million kroner to the PURL initiative, which funds the purchase of US-made weapons for Ukraine, and 80 million kroner for fuel to be procured through the NATO Support and Procurement Agency.
"With this aid package, we will provide Ukraine with a number of crucial capabilities in the coming months through the Danish model and the PURL initiative," said Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen.
