On April 16, the Kingdom of Denmark announced the allocation of 200 million Danish kroner ($28.5 million) for the purchase of weapons and military equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Ukrainian manufacturers.
These funds are provided within the new aid package for Ukraine.
In total, approximately 2.2 billion Danish kroner (about 295 million euros) were allocated.
This is the first and unprecedented decision when military equipment for the Defense Forces of Ukraine are purchased from Ukrainian manufacturers at the expense of another country.
This decision is extremely important both for the Ukrainian army and for the Ukrainian economy. The production capacity of Ukraine’s defense industry significantly exceeds the purchasing capacity of the state budget.
‘The capacity of the Ukrainian defense industry is about $20 billion. At the same time, Ukraine has only $6 billion for the purchase of weapons,’ minister Oleksandr Kamyshin explained.
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
