Defense Minister Rustem Umerov announced key decisions by Ukraine's allies regarding military aid for 2025.

Details were shared on the minister's social media page.

Umerov highlighted that, following numerous meetings and negotiations conducted by the Ukrainian government this fall, $12.6 billion, €10.7 billion, and £3 billion were secured to support the Defense Forces next year.

Key sources of support for 2025:

  • Baltic States: Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia will allocate 0.25% of their GDP to support Ukraine.
  • United Kingdom: £3 billion annually until 2031.
  • Denmark: €8.7 billion in aid through 2028, with €2.2 billion in 2025, including joint projects and investments under "Danish Model 2.0."
  • European Union: A second tranche of €1.9 billion at the start of 2025, earmarked for ammunition, air defense systems, missiles, and defense industry support.
  • NATO: Up to €500 million under the Alliance's Comprehensive Assistance Package for Ukraine in 2025.
  • Netherlands: €4 billion for the 2024–2026 period.
  • Germany: €4 billion in direct military aid.
  • Norway: Increasing support to 30 billion NOK ($2.7 billion).
  • United States: $5.5 billion in military assistance.
  • Sweden: A three-year framework program of 75 billion SEK ($7.5 billion), with $2.5 billion annually.

“In recent weeks, we have held several significant meetings with allies to identify key defense needs, analyze previous aid, and develop new formats of cooperation,” stated Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.

One example of these new alliances is the "Northern Group + Ukraine" coalition, comprising 12 countries — Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, and the United Kingdom — which are uniting efforts to strengthen Ukraine’s security.

The minister also emphasized the development of Ukraine’s defense industry. Numerous projects have created conditions for the production of:

  • Long-range missiles and drones
  • 155-mm ammunition
  • Air defense systems, missiles, heavy armored vehicles, and artillery
  • Robotic complexes, electronic warfare systems, and radars

Umerov highlighted the effectiveness of the "Danish model," which involves financing contracts for Ukraine’s defense industry using funds provided by foreign partners to meet the Defense Forces' needs.
