Details: Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine appreciates the assistance of Denmark, which has already provided 19 military aid packages and was the first country outside the G7 to sign a bilateral security agreement with Ukraine. 

Quote: "We discussed the implementation of the security cooperation agreement, our need to expand training missions for Ukrainian pilots, the reconstruction of Ukraine, and European integration. I am grateful for the government’s decision to invest in Ukraine’s defence industry."

Background:

• Denmark leads the aviation coalition within the Ramstein format and coordinates the steps of the allies preparing to transfer Western fighter jets to Ukraine.
• In early July, it was announced that the Netherlands would soon begin delivering the first of 24 promised F-16s to Ukraine.
• The Norwegian government decided to provide Ukraine with six F-16 fighter jets, the first of which will be delivered in 2024.
