Denmark has allocated 20 million for energy assistance to the Kherson region

Denmark will allocate 20 million euros to support the energy sector in the Kherson region.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this following a meeting with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

According to the head of state, Denmark has decided to support the residents of the Kherson region specifically. The funds will be directed toward an energy assistance package for the region. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of direct support for Ukrainian communities.

During the meeting, the parties also discussed additional humanitarian aid. The president noted that Denmark has already done a great deal to support communities in the Mykolaiv region, and Ukraine counts on this work continuing.

In addition, Zelenskyy announced a new defense package from Denmark worth 645 million euros. It includes, in particular, the procurement of attack drones and interceptor drones, ammunition for F-16 fighter jets, and funding for the PURL program.

According to the president, this assistance is particularly timely in light of Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy, water, and heating infrastructure.

The talks also covered the results of cooperation under the Drone Deal, the development of joint production facilities, and work on the FREYJA anti-ballistic missile program.

Zelenskyy thanked the government, parliament, and people of Denmark for their support of Ukraine.
