“The humanitarian situation in Ukraine is heartbreaking. Right now, Ukrainians are enduring an extremely cold winter, and Putin is cynically exploiting the cold to his tactical advantage by carrying out systematic attacks on energy infrastructure and civilian supplies,” said Lars Løkke Rasmussen, Denmark’s Minister for Foreign Affairs.
The need for humanitarian assistance in Ukraine continues to be severe, as reported by the ministry. In 2026, approximately 10.8 million people are expected to require aid. Last year was the deadliest for civilians since the invasion began, and ongoing attacks on civilian infrastructure continue to exacerbate the situation.
“According to the United Nations, 7 out of 10 people in Ukraine reported mental health problems in 2025. Additionally, approximately 3.7 million people are internally displaced within Ukraine, while 5.8 million others are living abroad,” the statement read.
The ministry emphasized that this new contribution underscores Denmark’s commitment to supporting Ukraine and mitigating the impact of the war on its citizens. Since the start of the Russia’s full-scale invasion, Denmark has provided approximately $187 million in humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
Denmark’s commitment to supporting Ukraine extends beyond humanitarian aid. The Danish government is also providing additional support to Ukraine's energy sector, amounting to approximately 22 million US dollars from development aid funds. This support is intended to assist Ukrainians during the winter and includes approximately $13.5 million for the Ukrainian Energy Support Fund.
Furthermore, $5.5 million are allocated for equipment to protect energy infrastructure, while around $7 million will be delivered through partners who are working to provide emergency assistance as quickly as possible.
Earlier, Denmark’s Ministry of Defense announced that both the Danish government and its parliamentary defense committee have approved a new military aid package for Ukraine, worth around $217 million.
