MOSCOW, February 18: Denmark will transfer all its ammunition stockpiles to Ukraine, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said, adding that Europe still has unused ammunition stockpiles and plans to transfer them to Kiev. He added that he needed to be handed over.
“If you ask the Ukrainians, they now ask us for ammunition, artillery. As the Danish side, we have decided to donate the entire artillery. I am sorry, friends, but they are asking us for ammunition, artillery. “This is not just a question of production, because we have weapons, ammunition and air defense means that we can deliver to Ukraine,” Frederiksen said on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference. “There is no need to use it yourself at this point.” .
On Thursday, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the alliance needs to increase ammunition production because the Ukraine conflict “demands” ammunition production.
Since Russia began military operations in Ukraine in February 2022, Western countries have provided military and financial aid to Kiev. The Kremlin has consistently warned that continuing to supply weapons to Kiev would lead to further escalation of the conflict. In April 2022, Russia sent a diplomatic note to all NATO member states regarding the issue of arms supplies to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that cargo containing weapons bound for Ukraine would be a legitimate target for Russian attack. (UNI)
