Ukraine is enhancing the quality of its international military aid package, with Denmark agreeing to provide 15,000 long-range artillery shells.
Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced on Telegram that Kyiv has been working with partners to increase the volume of aid and redirect it toward capabilities that have the biggest battlefield impact – air defense systems, long-range artillery and Ukrainian-made drones, News.Az reports, citing Kyiv Post.
“We have three unchanged priorities: air defense, long-range artillery and Ukrainian drones,” Fedorov said, adding that Ukraine is “fighting for every dollar of international support” while seeking to ensure partners’ funds are used as efficiently as possible.
Ukrainian authorities praised Denmark’s prompt response to Kyiv’s request to revise its planned assistance, shifting resources from short-range artillery ammunition to long-range solutions better suited to current battlefield demands.
Reportedly, a portion of the munitions has already arrived in Ukraine and is being integrated into Defense Forces operations.
Long-range artillery ammunition has become one of the key needs of Ukraine’s frontline units. As drone “kill zones” expand and unmanned systems increasingly threaten forward positions, longer-ranger rounds allow Ukrainian forces to strike Russian troops and critical infrastructure from safer distances.
