Denmark has decided to transfer all of its artillery in reserve to Ukraine. The country urges partners to increase arms supplies to Ukraine.
This was reported by Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen during the 7th Ukrainian Lunch in Munich.
She noted that European leaders often refer to production problems regarding arms supplies. The Prime Minister emphasized that Europe has weapons and they need to be transferred to Ukraine.
"But Ukraine is asking us for ammunition and artillery now. We, Denmark, have decided to transfer all of our artillery to Ukraine. So, sorry, friends, there is military equipment in Europe; it's not just a matter of production. We have weapons, ammunition, air defense systems that we are not currently using. They need to be transferred to Ukraine," she said.
Additionally, Frederiksen stated that during the COVID-19 pandemic, Europe and the United States quickly invented a vaccine and produced it in the necessary quantities. In her opinion, the same can be done with weapons.
The Danish Prime Minister also supported Ukraine's integration into the EU and NATO. Frederiksen believes that the EU should send Ukraine a clear signal that it will join the bloc.
