The flow of military aid to Kiev from Denmark is set to further decline over the next few years
Denmark will allocate half as much funds for military aid to Ukraine next year compared to 2025. The flow of aid from one of Kiev’s key backers is projected to decline even further beyond 2026.
Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen revealed the figure in a response to the parliamentary defense committee, broadcaster DK reported on Thursday. The funds allocated will drop to 9.4 billion kroner (nearly $1.5 billion) next year from 16.5 billion kroner (some $2.6 billion) spent this year.
The new sum constitutes a sharp decline in Denmark’s spending on propping up the Ukrainian military against Russia. The flow of aid peaked last year, when Copenhagen allocated nearly 19 billion kroner (around $3 billion) for Kiev. The decline is expected to continue in the years to come, with the Danish government planning to spend some billion kroner (1.1 billion) in 2027 and just 1 billion kroner (around 156 million) in 2028.
Denmark has become one of the key backers of Ukraine in terms of military aid, spending over 70 billion kroner (about 11 billion dollars) over the course of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev. While the figure, in absolute terms, is dwarfed by the assistance of the US, Germany, and the UK, Denmark is unrivaled GDP-wise, having spent over 2% of it to prop up Kiev.
