What is known about the signed memorandum between Ukraine and Denmark

The State Enterprise "Defence Procurement Agency" and the Procurement and Logistics Organisation of the Ministry of Defence of Denmark agreed on exchanging experience and cooperation in the field of arms procurement on foreign markets.

We are sincerely grateful to our partners from Denmark for their constant support of Ukraine. This event is another important step in deepening our cooperation in supplying the Armed Forces of Ukraine with modern weapons and military equipment, emphasised Deputy MOD chief Dmytro Klimenkov.

Procurement of modern weapons in cooperation with international partners is one of the key focuses of the Defence Procurement Agency.

Military aid from Denmark

On February 2024, the Prime Minister of Denmark, Matt Frederiksen, announced that her country decided to provide Ukraine with all its artillery.

She also called on Western countries to hand over weapons, ammunition, and anti-aircraft defence systems to Ukrainian defenders, which they are not using yet.

In March, Denmark announced another package of military aid to Ukraine worth 330 million dollars. It included Caesar's self-propelled artillery installations.

The Economist has learned from its sources in the Ukrainian government that elections in Ukraine could be held as early as the summer of 2025, and the current head of state, Volodymyr Zelensky, is allegedly planning to run for a second term.

Points of attention

Zelensky's team is gearing up for the campaign, aiming to engage voters while navigating challenges such as restoring voter lists in the midst of war.
Insiders reveal that Zelensky's push for re-election includes strategizing for a full ceasefire before launching the electoral process, potentially by the end of April.

Zelensky is determined to become the president of Ukraine for the second time

According to media reports, the Ukrainian leader recently called a meeting to instruct his team to organize a vote after a full ceasefire.

Currently, US President Donald Trump's team is hoping that it can be implemented by the end of April.

The first step to launching the electoral process is the lifting of martial law.

Sources differ on the exact timing, but most say Zelensky is targeting summer. The law requires at least 60 days for campaigning, so the earliest possible date would be early July.

According to other insiders, the campaign will last three months: that is how much time, as the election authorities informed the parliament, is needed to restore voter lists in the midst of war.

Serious preparations are now underway for Zelensky to appear before voters for the second time, and quite soon, the publication writes.
