Denmark to provide over $ 19 million to Ukraine for energy recovery
Danish Minister Lars Aagaard has criticized Russia's attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure while pledging substantial financial support for recovery efforts.
Denmark announced it would provide 130 million Danish kroner (over $19.4 million) to assist Ukraine in rebuilding its energy infrastructure damaged by Russian attacks, according to a statement by Lars Aagaard, Denmark’s Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities.
The announcement was made during a meeting of the G7 working group on Ukraine’s energy security, reports the Ukrainian media.
“Putin’s army is not only crossing Ukrainian borders, Russia is violating the rules of war with its massive attacks on the Ukrainian electricity and heat supply system,” Aagaard said.
The Danish minister explained that the aid is financed within the framework of the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs program. According to the minister, the aid will contribute to implementing emergency measures and procuring equipment and spare parts to restore supply security.
Ukraine signed a memorandum with Denmark in April for over $446 million to support reconstruction and energy infrastructure.
On 13 September 13, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen. According to Zelenskyy, they discussed aspects of bilateral cooperation in the defense sector, including the supply of F-16 fighters and joint weapons production.
