Denmark is sending its “entire artillery” to Ukraine, the Danish prime minister has said.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference in Germany, Mette Frederiksen appealed to other European nations to do more to help Ukraine in its fight against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invading forces.
“They are asking us for ammunition now. Artillery now. From the Danish side, we decided to donate our entire artillery,” she said.
“I’m sorry to say, friends, there are still ammunition in stock in Europe,” she said.
“This is not only a question about production, because we have weapons, we have ammunition, we have air defence that we don’t have to use ourself at the moment, that we should deliver to Ukraine.”

It comes as Ukrainian forces withdrew from the key eastern town of Avdiivka amid severe munitions shortages.
The Danish announcement will come as particularly welcome news in Ukraine as its military has been starved of artillery shells, forcing it to scale back some operations, Brigadier General Oleksandr Tarnavsky told Reuters in December.
“There’s a problem with ammunition, especially post-Soviet [shells] – that’s 122mm, 152mm. And today, these problems exist across the entire front line,” he said.
The Czech Republic also said it could supply 800,000 shells to the Ukrainian military.
Czech President Petr Pavel said in a speech at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday that it had a stockpile of about half a million 155mm and 300,000 122mm shells, which can be on the Ukraine front line in a few weeks “if funding is found quickly”.
‘Eternal glory’: Putin hails Russia’s ‘important victory’ in Ukraine’s Avdiivka
Denmark has been a key supporter of Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.
According to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, the Nordic country’s military aid commitments increased by €3.5 billion, or around US$3.8 billion, since November – making it one of the biggest military donors by percentage of GDP, the institute says.
Denmark has pledged €8.4 billion, around US$9 billion, in military aid.
With a crucial US$60 billion US aid package stalled in the US Congress, European support is becoming ever more important for Ukraine.
Earlier this year, the European Union agreed to a new €50 billion, or around US$53.9 billion, aid package for Ukraine.
“This locks in steadfast, long-term, predictable funding for Ukraine. The EU is taking leadership and responsibility in support for Ukraine; we know what is at stake,” President of the European Council Charles Michel said at the time, Reuters reported.
