Ukraine's Minister of Defense, Mykhailo Fedorov, held talks with his Danish counterpart, Troels Lund Poulsen. The two sides discussed further steps in cooperation aimed at helping Ukraine maintain the initiative across all domains of the war.
According to Ukrinform, Ukraine's Ministry of Defense stated this on its website.
The main focus of the conversation was the procurement of Ukrainian-made drones for the country's Defense Forces, including interceptor drones. The ministers also discussed expanding the successful Danish Model of support for Ukraine's defense industry.
This approach allows partner countries to finance weapons production directly inside Ukraine. Since 2024, the mechanism has helped attract approximately $3 billion for the manufacture of Ukrainian weapons, including more than 200,000 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), thousands of electronic warfare (EW) systems, Ukrainian missiles, and other military equipment.
Ukraine is seeking to further expand procurement through the Danish Model, which would enable faster delivery of equipment to the front line while simultaneously investing in Ukraine's domestic defense industry.
