Denmark confirms it will not send tanks to Ukraine but will send artillery. The Russian Embassy in Copenhagen responded in the last paragraph of this article.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The modern German Leopard 2 tanks owned by Denmark and other European countries are a major point of contention and question on the agenda during a summit being held at Ramstein Air Base in Germany on Friday, chaired by US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, and attended by nearly 50 NATO and defense leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Will the tanks be sent as Ukraine has long requested?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before today's summit, Danish Defense Minister Jakob Ellemann-Jensen denied that some of the 44 Leopard tanks in Denmark would be sent to Ukraine, and confirmed that Denmark would not send tanks to Ukraine. Ellemann-Jensen stated, according to TV2: "I think sending tanks is a good idea, and I hope that there will be countries that send tanks. But this does not apply to Denmark.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tanks are likely to be decisive on the battlefield<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The 44 Leopard 2A7 tanks, which the Danish Armed Forces possess, have a very large combat force, and if it is decided to send the tanks to Ukraine, they will be the heaviest and most modern war equipment the country has received, and will likely be a decisive factor on the battlefield in Ukraine, according to the assessment of TV 2's defense correspondent, Anders Lomholt, since Ukraine is planning a spring offensive, and that requires the right tools if it is to be effective, and tanks in particular are what can break through the Russian lines, according to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order for any country to send German tanks to Ukraine, it is necessary for Germany to agree to it, because Germany\u2019s approval is conditional in the sales and purchase contract if the country that bought the tanks wants to send them to another country. So far, the Germans have hesitated to agree to the possibility of sending the tanks to Ukraine, despite pressure on both Finland and Poland to send them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Danish tanks are limited and in use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n But according to Danish Defense Minister Jakob Ellemann-Jensen, the Danish tanks will not go to Ukraine, first of all because Denmark decided to send French-made Caesar howitzers, which can be compared to a long-range gun, which is what Ukraine specifically requested. Also, the tanks are somewhat used at the moment, according to the Defense Minister. The source mentions that 14 Danish Leopard tanks are currently deployed in Estonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The donation of the weapons was announced Thursday afternoon by Defense Minister Jakob Ellemann-Jensen. According to Ellemann, the decision has the full support of the Foreign Policy Council. Ellemann-Jensen did not specify a delivery date for the system to Ukraine but expects it to be within six months. The Caesar howitzer is a powerful, long-range artillery piece. Mounted on an armored truck, it can hit targets up to 40 kilometers away and can fire six rounds in less than a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Russian Embassy in Copenhagen responded in an official statement yesterday, Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Russian Embassy in Copenhagen issued a statement on Thursday, saying: \u201cWhen the Danish government chooses to send Caesar howitzer weapons systems to Ukraine, Denmark is becoming increasingly drawn into the conflict in Ukraine. The Danish government\u2019s decision to donate Caesar howitzers to Ukraine aims to delay and escalate the conflict, but it is incapable of changing its overall course in favor of Kyiv (the Ukrainian capital).\u201d The statement continued, \u201cThe belief that peace can be achieved through the delivery of weapons is cynical and immoral, and will inevitably lead to new victims. The armed forces of Ukraine are actively using French long-range artillery systems to destroy schools, hospitals, and cultural institutions in the Donbas, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the same context, the United States announced that it would contribute a new military package worth $2.5 billion, bringing the total US arms support to $26.7 billion, equivalent to about 180 billion Danish kroner. According to the US Secretary of Defense, this is a crucial moment for Ukraine in a crucial decade for the world. He added that Russia will continue its attacks and try to break Ukraine's will to fight.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0646\u0645\u0627\u0631\u0643 \u062a\u0624\u0643\u062f \u0639\u062f\u0645 \u0625\u0631\u0633\u0627\u0644 \u062f\u0628\u0627\u0628\u0627\u062a \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0623\u0648\u0643\u0631\u0627\u0646\u064a\u0627 \u0644\u0643\u0646 \u0633\u062a\u0631\u0633\u0644 \u0645\u062f\u0627\u0641\u0639. \u0631\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0641\u0627\u0631\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0648\u0633\u064a\u0629 \u0641\u064a \u0643\u0648\u0628\u0646\u0647\u0627\u062c\u0646 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0642\u0631\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u062e\u064a\u0631\u0629 \u0641\u064a \u0647\u0630\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0642\u0627\u0644. \u062a\u0634\u0643\u0644 \u062f\u0628\u0627\u0628\u0627\u062a Leopard 2 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0644\u0645\u0627\u0646\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u062d\u062f\u064a\u062b\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u064a \u062a\u0645\u062a\u0644\u0643\u0647\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0646\u0645\u0627\u0631\u0643 \u0648\u062f\u0648\u0644 \u0623\u0648\u0631\u0648\u0628\u064a\u0629 \u0623\u062e\u0631\u0649 \u062d\u0627\u0644\u0629 \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u062c\u062f\u0644 \u0648\u0639\u0644\u0627\u0645\u0629 \u0627\u0633\u062a\u0641\u0647\u0627\u0645 \u0643\u0628\u064a\u0631\u0629 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u062c\u062f\u0648\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0639\u0645\u0627\u0644 \u062e\u0644\u0627\u0644 \u0642\u0645\u0629 \u062a\u0639\u0642\u062f \u0641\u064a \u0642\u0627\u0639\u062f\u0629 \u0631\u0627\u0645\u0634\u062a\u0627\u064a\u0646 \u0641\u064a \u0623\u0644\u0645\u0627\u0646\u064a\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u064a\u0648\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0645\u0639\u0629 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u062a\u064a \u064a\u062a\u0631\u0623\u0633\u0647\u0627 \u0648\u0632\u064a\u0631 …<\/p>","protected":false},"author":206070079,"featured_media":18798,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[1358],"tags":[2024,2025,1652],"class_list":["post-19293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-1358","tag-2024","tag-2025","tag-1652"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danmark-24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221128_153001.jpg?fit=2048%2C1360&ssl=1","author_info":{"display_name":"\u0623\u0633\u0645\u0627\u0621 \u0639\u0628\u0627\u0633","author_link":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/author\/asmaabbasdk\/"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/danmark-24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20221128_153001.jpg?fit=2048%2C1360&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pd9WgT-51b","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/206070079"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19293"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19293\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19295,"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19293\/revisions\/19295"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danmark-24.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
