Denmark has taken a leading role in supporting the Ukrainian defense industry by earmarking \u20ac830 million ($935 million) in 2025 for the purchase of Ukrainian-produced weaponry. This initiative will be carried out on behalf of the European Union, using the windfall profits generated by the frozen Russian assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Danish Ministry of Defense and the European Commission signed an agreement giving Denmark responsibility for implementing a large part of these funds this year. According to Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen, this recognition reflects his country's efforts to strengthen Ukraine's productive capacity in the midst of war. Denmark has been a pioneer in the application of what is known as the Danish model<\/em>The system prioritizes the acquisition of armaments directly from the Ukrainian defense industry, instead of resorting to foreign manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Ministry of Defense stressed that this strategy not only strengthens the Ukrainian economy, but also ensures competitive prices and greater adaptability to the country's military needs. \"This provides obvious logistical advantages and helps build Ukraine's defense industry for the future. Now we can do it on an even larger scale.\"<\/em>said Lund Poulsen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Procurement in 2024 under this model includes Bohdana howitzers, long-range drones, anti-tank and anti-submarine missile systems, all manufactured in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last year, Denmark already channeled nearly \u20ac400 million on behalf of the EU through this model, reaching a total investment of approximately DKK 4.4 billion ($664 million) by 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By 2025, the Danish government plans to more than double this figure, which will further strengthen Ukraine's defense production capacity at a critical time in the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, Denmark will act as an intermediary on behalf of several allied countries, including Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Canada, thus broadening the impact of this strategy on Ukrainian defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The initiative not only has an immediate impact on Ukraine's military capabilities, but also lays the foundation for the development of a strong and sustainable long-term defense industry, crucial for the country's future security.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dinamarca ha asumido un papel de liderazgo en el apoyo a la industria de defensa ucraniana, destinando 830 millones de euros (935 millones de d\u00f3lares) en 2025 para la compra de armamento producido en Ucrania.
