The Danish Minister of Defence, Troels Lund Poulsen, and the Ukrainian Minister of Defence, Rustem Umerov, have signed an agreement that will support the establishment of production by companies from the Ukrainian defence industry in Denmark. The Government has allocated over 67 million euro to strengthen efforts to establish Ukrainian companies in Denmark. 

”Denmark is taking the lead by giving companies from the Ukrainian defence industry the opportunity to begin production in Denmark. The agreement will form the basis for close cooperation between the Danish and Ukrainian defence industry. At the same time, it will provide the Danish Armed Forces with easier access to some of the newest technologies and experiences from Ukraine. In this way, the integration of our defence industries will greatly benefit the security and resilience of both countries,” says Danish Minister of Defence, Troels Lund Poulsen. 

”This letter marks our first step in the ‘Build with Ukraine Initiative’, which I announced in our last Ramstein session. I am glad we took this step with Denmark, one of our closest partners, who has provided billions in security assistance to Ukraine and helped our defence industry grow with the Danish model. Our joint projects under this new initiative will become the bedrock of the Danish-Ukrainian relations for decades to come.” says Ukraine’s Minister of Defence Rustem Umerov. 

The Danish and Ukrainian ministers of defence signed the agreement in connection with the NATO-summit in The Hague.
