Volodymyr Zelensky and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen signed a 10-year agreement on security cooperation between their countries.
Britain, Germany and France previously signed similar agreements to help Ukraine repel Russian aggression, based on the commitment made by the G7 last July, the Kyiv Independent reported.
Denmark is the first non-G7 country to finalize the deal. Already on February 22, Copenhagen announced that it was signing the agreement with Kyiv.
The deal, struck on the eve of the second anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion, sees 1.8 billion euros in Danish support for Ukraine in 2024.
The Danish Support Fund for Ukraine has also allocated EUR 8.5 billion for the period 2023-2028.
As one of the leaders of the fighter coalition, Copenhagen has pledged to support allied efforts to supply Ukraine with F-16s and the necessary training.
Provisions are also made to support the development of Ukraine's naval forces, demining efforts and Denmark's supply of unmanned aerial vehicles, communications equipment and radars.
The deal includes Copenhagen's commitment to support Ukraine's bid for the EU and NATO, as well as sanctions against Russia./BGNES
