Denmark is releasing 4.8 billion Danish kroner, or €642 million, in military aid for Ukraine. The announcement was made on Tuesday 10 November 2026 by Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, after a meeting with the parliamentary foreign affairs committee, according to the office of Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
The minister also mentioned a separate envelope of 150 million kroner, or about €20 million, for Ukraine’s energy sector. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is due to travel to Copenhagen the same day to discuss air defence and energy security with Nordic leaders. Denmark has provided about €8.5 billion in military aid to Ukraine’s armed forces since the Russian invasion began in 2022.
This announcement comes a few days after a controversy arising from a call to Vladimir Putin. At the end of October, Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre spoke by phone with the Kremlin chief, stating that they were not speaking on behalf of Europe. Mette Frederiksen expressed her disagreement: “I do not know what they think they can achieve this way”. Vladimir Putin replied that “peace will only be possible if Russia’s interests are taken into account”.
