Denmark recently announced a military support package for Ukraine, worth DKK 1.8 billion or $276 million, after an incident involving a Danish military helicopter and a Russian frigate exacerbated security concerns.
The package details could be made public soon; however, sources suggest it would focus on strengthening Kyiv’s air defences.
As of now, there is no information about the delivery schedule of the detection equipment or the list of ammunition that would be provided under the support package.
According to sources, Denmark said that its helicopter was conducting photographic surveillance of the Russian vessel in international waters off Gedser when it fired two flares towards the helicopter, almost missing it narrowly. Russia, on the other hand, blamed the Danish pilots for dangerous manoeuvres.
The decision was announced on September 18, 2026 and comes after this incident, with Denmark’s Defence Minister of Denmark, Jeppe Bruun, stating that Copenhagen would reply to such Russian tactics and intimidation by offering assistance to Ukraine as soon as possible.
