On June 24, the Defense Ministers of Ukraine and Denmark Rustem Umerov and Troels Lund Polesen in Hague signed a letter of intentions, which provides for defense production in the Scandinavian country. According to Umerov, Denmark has already allocated 500 million crowns to launch Ukrainian defense production in its territory. All capacity created within the project will work to strengthen the Ukrainian defense forces.
In 2024, Ukraine and Denmark introduced a new mechanism for financing the procurement of weapons for the Armed Forces through compensation for contracts with Ukrainian producers. This mechanism was called “Danish Model”. According to this scheme, the Ukrainian side forms a detailed list of projects in need of funding, and Danish specialists carry out a detailed assessment of the capabilities of recommended companies and analyze their previous experience in execution of contracts.
In June 2025, Umerov reported that Ukraine’s defense support for the Danish Model would scale up to € 1.3 billion during the year.
