Ukraine and Denmark deepen defense cooperation
Ukraine and Denmark are deepening their cooperation in the areas of air defense, F-16 support, and the development of the defense industry. Particular emphasis is placed on the Danish model for financing Ukrainian production, cooperation with defense tech companies, and support for drone units
Ukraine and Denmark are strengthening their cooperation in the areas of air defense and defense industry development, according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. This was discussed during a conversation between Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov and Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen.
The Ukrainian side thanked Denmark for its consistent support and high-quality cooperation in the field of defense.
The effectiveness of the Danish model of defense industry support was noted separately. In 2025, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine attracted more than $2 billion to Ukrainian production through the Danish model.
Mykhailo Fedorov noted that thanks to Denmark's efforts, F-16 fighter jets are already protecting Ukrainian skies. The heads of the defense departments discussed the prospects of supplying Ukraine with weapons for these aircraft and further developing aircraft support.
A separate focus of the negotiations was cooperation with defense companies. Denmark plans to create an ecosystem of defense companies on its own territory, and Ukraine is ready to share its technological experience.
Mykhailo Fedorov also proposed considering Denmark's participation in a number of priority projects, in particular, basic support for Ukrainian brigades with drones and the transformation of the military training system.
