Ukraine Targets Outdated Military Equipment in Ongoing Conflict
Section: Politics
Denmark, a member of NATO, is considering deploying unarmed soldiers to Ukraine to enhance their military training, particularly in drone operations. This announcement comes from the Danish Army's chief, who indicated that the troops would aim to learn from the Ukrainian military's experiences in the ongoing conflict with Russia.
The Danish forces are expected to remain distanced from the frontline, likely stationed in training facilities situated in western Ukraine. The military training initiative could commence as early as summer 2025, although the Danish Minister of Defence has refrained from commenting on this matter, stating that it falls under military jurisdiction.
In response, the Russian ambassador to Denmark expressed strong disapproval of the proposed training program. He articulated concerns that the involvement of Danish soldiers could escalate tensions further in the conflict, suggesting that such actions would deepen Denmark's engagement in the hostilities. He also warned that military installations, including training centers in Ukraine, would be considered legitimate targets for Russian military operations.
Since the beginning of the Ukraine conflict over three years ago, Denmark has positioned itself as one of Ukraine's steadfast supporters. The country has made significant military contributions, including the supply of hundreds of armored vehicles, artillery systems, and various types of drones. Among the notable military aid is a commitment to deliver several F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, with the first batch anticipated in the upcoming summer.
Moreover, Denmark entered into a security agreement with Ukraine in February 2024, promising military assistance for the next decade. This commitment mirrors similar agreements made by other NATO allies, such as the UK, which established a historic long-term partnership with Ukraine at the beginning of 2025.
According to data from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, the United States remains the largest contributor of aid to Ukraine, both militarily and financially. Germany follows as the second-largest supporter when factoring in bilateral and EU contributions. Denmark ranks eighth globally in terms of support to Ukraine, reflecting its significant role in the coalition backing the country against Russian aggression.
