Izvestia reported that on May 17, the Danish Ministry of Defense announced that the country would provide Ukraine with 4.2 billion crowns (about 630 million USD) to equip fireworks and ammunition.
According to the Danish Ministry of National Defense's website, the 26th aid package includes military aid worth about 4.2 billion crowns in 2025-2028. This amount is funded by the Ukrainian Fund along with income refunds from the European Peace Fund (EPF).
In addition to providing weapons such as ammunition and equipment for fighter jets, Denmark is also committed to expanding training opportunities for Ukrainian soldiers.
Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said Copenhagen has always been one of the countries that have been steadfastly supporting Kiev since the beginning of the conflict and will continue to support it in the coming years.
Previously, on May 16, Poland's interim Ambassador to Ukraine, Mr. Piotr Lukasiewicz, said Warsaw was planning to transfer the MiG-29 fighter jets from the Soviet era, which were about to be eliminated, to Kiev.
Although there is no final decision, Mr. Lukasiewicz said that "transfer to Ukraine is completely possible", and revealed that this MiG-29 fighter jet will be replaced by the US-made F 16.
Not stopping there, Poland is also preparing the 47th military aid package for Ukraine, with a total value of 200 million euros.
On May 9, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmygal said that Denmark, France and Italy will jointly buy weapons for Ukraine with a total value of 1 billion euros. He also reiterated the European Union's (EU) commitment to allocating nearly 1.9 billion euros from frozen Russian assets to provide military assistance to Kiev.
For its part, Russia continues to condemn the Western supply of weapons to Ukraine, saying that this only prolongs the conflict without changing the final outcome.
On May 10, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia would ask the US and Europe to stop arms assistance to Ukraine in any potential ceasefire.
