Denmark concluded an agreement on security guarantees for Ukraine for the next 10 years. It became the first of the Scandinavian countries and the fourth of Ukraine's allies to do so.

Denmark signed an agreement on security obligations to Ukraine

The Danish government says the countries have signed a ten-year agreement on security commitments.

Denmark's security commitments are based on Denmark's strong position on F-16 fighter jets, the reconstruction of Mykolaiv and the reform work in Ukraine.

The Danish Fund for Ukraine will support the new security commitments currently funded until 2028. Now, the fund for Ukraine is 69.1 billion Danish kroner ($10.2 billion).

According to the agreement, Denmark will help support Ukraine's ability to defend itself against Russian invasion.

The security pledge concerns, among other things, the continued donation of military equipment and training, but it also involves much closer cooperation between Denmark and Ukraine, which is in cyber security and intelligence, Danish MOD chief Troels Lund Poulsen said.

In the long term, security cooperation will help deter future Russian attacks, among other things, by strengthening the resilience of Ukrainian society.

For its part, Ukraine has implemented the necessary reforms that promote democracy, the fight against corruption, and democratic control over the armed forces.

Agreements on security guarantees for Ukraine: what is known

The security commitment to Ukraine is an initiative of the G7 countries: Canada, France, Italy, Japan, Great Britain, Germany and the USA.

Currently, the initiative is supported by 32 countries and the EU.

Ukraine has already signed relevant agreements with Germany, France and Great Britain. An agreement with the Netherlands is planned.

The White House has asked European leaders to prepare proposals for security guarantees for Ukraine. The US has also asked the EU what it needs from Washington to implement such security measures.

Points of attention

  • An emergency summit in Paris on February 17 will bring together European leaders to discuss the issue and collectively respond to the letter from the United States.
  • The US is seeking to understand what support EU members need to contribute to security mechanisms for Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of US backing.
  • The unfolding events indicate a collaborative effort between the US and Europe to address security concerns in Ukraine.

US and EU begin talks on guarantees for Ukraine

As journalists managed to find out, the States sent a questionnaire to European governments asking what contribution they could make to guaranteeing Ukraine's security.

In addition, the Trump team wants to know what specifically EU members need from Washington in order to be able to contribute.

The White House expects that this element will be appreciated by many European leaders, who have made it clear that they can provide security guarantees only with US support.

What requirements for U.S. support, if any, would your government consider necessary for its participation in these security mechanisms? In particular, what short-term and long-term resources do you think the U.S. would need? asked one question.

According to insiders, Europeans should provide a collective response to this letter.

Against this backdrop, some European leaders will gather in Paris on February 17 for an emergency summit on Ukraine.
