As reported by the department, Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen will meet with his Estonian counterpart Hanno Pevkur today.

Among other things, the ministers will discuss further support for Ukraine and Denmark's allocation of about 317 million Danish kroner for artillery ammunition, which will be purchased through Estonia.

"It is very important that Denmark and our close allies continue to support Ukraine's fight for freedom. We must continue to direct our support so that Ukrainians can resist Russian aggression," said Poulsen.

The Danish Ministry of Defense noted that Ukraine has a great need for continuous supplies of artillery ammunition of various calibers.

As part of the new aid package, Denmark has decided to finance the transfer of various types of artillery ammunition to Ukraine via Estonia.

"Aid to Ukraine should be provided in accordance with Ukraine's specific wishes and needs. It is good and important that Estonia is able to deliver the desired types of ammunition to the Ukrainians," Poulsen added.

The ministers will also discuss Estonia's work to strengthen Ukraine's IT security under the auspices of the IT Coalition.

Aid to Ukraine from Denmark

As a reminder, Denmark recently allocated a new package of military aid to Ukraine worth 6,7 billion Danish kroner ($995 million). The aid will be provided during 2025-2027.

The main elements of the new aid package were air defense, artillery, and financial support for the Air Force.

Also in March, the Danish Ministry of Defense announced its intention to allocate almost 40 million euros to an innovation fund that will support Ukraine's need for rapid technological development on the battlefield.
