Denmark, Norway to Buy Ukrainian-Made Arms for Kyiv
In 2025, Denmark and Norway will collectively invest €178 million in Ukrainian arms, expanding on a successful model of direct purchases from Ukrainian manufacturers. This follows almost €538 million in previous arms purchases funded by a combination of frozen Russian assets, and contributions from Denmark, Sweden, and Iceland. Denmark, the originator of this “Danish model,” has committed substantial further investment, including joint production of weapons systems. This initiative marks a significant expansion of international support for Ukraine’s defense industry, with Lithuania also now participating.
