Kyiv: Denmark has announced a €645 million defence assistance package for Ukraine, including funding for attack drones, interceptors, F-16 ammunition and the PURL initiative, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said after meeting Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
The package comes amid continued Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, water supply and heating systems, Zelenskyy said. Denmark has also allocated a separate €20 million energy package for the Kherson region, ahead of the fourth anniversary of its liberation from Russian forces.
The two leaders discussed humanitarian assistance, joint weapons production, the Drone Deal and the FREYJA anti-ballistic programme.
Separately, Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s delegation held trilateral talks with US and Russian representatives in Abu Dhabi after an initial meeting with European and American partners.
The discussions focused on humanitarian measures, prisoner releases, long-term security guarantees and steps to prevent a recurrence of the war. Zelenskyy said Ukraine would continue negotiations in the coming days, with the objective of securing a lasting peace.
