The Danish government has announced a new military aid package for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
What is known
Denmark will transfer 19 self-propelled artillery to the Ukrainian Armed ForcesCaesar installations. What’s interesting is that these are all French self-propelled guns that are in service with Denmark. The installations will be handed over free of charge. In addition to them, Ukraine will also receive a training program. In addition to this, Denmark is ready to consider the possibility of purchasing additional installations for the APU.
