Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced at a press conference Sunday evening that Denmark has decided to send weapons to Ukraine, with Denmark donating up to 2,700 anti-tank weapons that the Ukrainians can use against Russian armored vehicles.
وقالت فريدريكسن خلال المؤتمر الصحفي “هناك حرب على الأراضي الأوروبية وقد غيرت كل قواعد اللعبة”، كما صرحت فريدريكسن بأن الأسلحة لم يتم إرسالها بعد ولكن يتم حالياً تعبئتها للنقل.
According to the military researcher, as quoted by TV2, sending weapons to Ukraine is not an easy task; in peacetime it may take months or years.
The Danish government secured a majority among parliamentary parties in the Danish Parliament's Foreign Policy Council in favor of the resolution.
This is the first time in modern times that Denmark has supplied a country at war with weapons. According to Defense Minister Morten Bodskov, the 2,700 anti-tank missiles come from operational stockpiles, and the armed forces estimated that Denmark could do without these weapons.
In addition to 2,700 anti-tank missiles, Denmark is sending nearly 300 deactivated Stinger missiles to the United States, where they are being manufactured to make them operational again, with the aim of sending them to Ukraine.
Many EU countries are ready to supply weapons
The Ministry of Defense announced on Saturday that 2,000 bulletproof vests were en route from Denmark to Ukraine, and in addition, Denmark had sent 700 IFAK first aid kits to Ukraine.
كما أعلنت السويد اليوم الأحد أنها سترسل دعما عسكريا لأوكرانيا يشمل 5000 صاروخ مضاد للدبابات، ووفقاً لوزير الدفاع السويدي بيتر هولتكفيست ستتم عمليات التسليم بمجرد اتخاذ قرار رسمي.
The Danish and Swedish support came after Germany's decision to send 1,500 weapons to Ukraine, a decision described as historic because it represents a significant shift in Germany's long-standing policy regarding arms exports to war zones.
This decision was also preceded by an announcement by Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod on Sunday morning that the airspace would be closed to Russian aircraft. The European Union later announced that it would take the same measure. This decision was announced on Sunday evening during a press conference of the European Union, where the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said that the European Union would close the airspace to Russian aircraft. She added that the European Union would also finance Ukraine’s purchases and supply it with weapons and other equipment.
وقالت في بيان “للمرة الأولى على الإطلاق سيمول الاتحاد الأوروبي إدخال وتوريد الأسلحة والمعدات الأخرى لدولة تتعرض للهجوم”، ويأتي ذلك بعد فرض الاتحاد الأوروبي عقوبات اقتصادية على روسيا عقب بدء الهجوم الروسي على أوكرانيا.
