Zelenskyy reveals contents of €643m aid package from Denmark
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Denmark's new military aid package, worth roughly €643 million, will fund purchases of attack drones, interceptor drones, and ammunition for F-16 fighter jets. Part of the package will go towards the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL), a US-NATO programme that enables NATO allies to purchase US-made weapons for Ukraine.

Details: Zelenskyy said the main components of the package are funding for attack and interceptor drones, ammunition for F-16s and a contribution to PURL.
Quote: "A very timely and substantial boost, just as Russia is carrying out its ballistic campaign against our energy infrastructure, water supply, heating, and everything that makes up normal life."
Details: Zelenskyy also said he had discussed additional humanitarian support with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, noting that Denmark has decided to specifically support Kherson Oblast with a €20 million energy package.
The two leaders also discussed the results of their work under the Drone Deal, the development of joint production, and work on the Freyja anti-ballistic programme.
