Denmark’s $1.53B Ukraine Aid: Weapons, Defense, and European Security
Denmark intends to inject approximately $1.53 billion into Ukrainian defense companies by late 2025, following a successful investment of roughly $655 million the previous year. This direct investment strategy, known as the “Danish model,” capitalizes on the Ukrainian defense industry’s rapid production capabilities, with some companies poised to begin production in Denmark within weeks. Minister Poulsen highlighted the economic efficiency of this approach and expressed hope that other nations would follow suit. Furthermore, Denmark is collaborating with other countries and supporting NATO initiatives to expedite weapon deliveries to Ukraine, while also contributing to the country’s economic reconstruction efforts.
