“Artillery and mortar systems are in great demand by Ukraine. With this donation package, we deliver a substantial contribution to the Ukrainian freedom struggle in the form of both additional CAESAR artillery systems and accompanying ammunition. The donations are made in cooperation with our allies and send an important signal that we stand behind Ukraine on a broad front", says Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen.

With this donation package, we are showing Ukraine and our European allies that Denmark has the will and ability to continue our support for Ukraine as long as necessary. I hope that more countries will follow suit and contribute to the opportunities being realized as soon as possible”, says Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen.
