Denmark to provide US$21 million to reconstruct Mykolaiv

Denmark will provide Ukraine with a new aid package for the reconstruction of Mykolaiv worth more than US£21 million. Source: Ministry of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine Details: It is stated that the aid package was approved during the fourth meeting of the special Supervisory Committee co-chaired by Oleksandr Kubrakov, Deputy Prime Minister for Reconstruction and Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine, and Dan Jorgensen, Minister of Cooperation and Development of Global Climate Policy of Denmark.

According to the statement, the package includes projects in the agricultural sector aimed at clearing mines on agricultural land, providing cogeneration units, and reconstructing the Mykolaiv State Agrarian University student accommodation centre for fire safety, which will be carried out jointly with UNOPS Ukraine and All Ukraine.

"Denmark is one of our most committed partners in the reconstruction process. In the spring of 2023, the country took over the patronage of Mykolaiv and Mykolaiv Oblast. Since then, we have already made progress in reconstructing the city - most of the projects of previous aid packages have either been completed or are being successfully implemented," Kubrakov said.

Kubrakov added that with the support of the Danish government, the Office for Recovery and Development of Mykolaiv Oblast and the Office for Recovery and Development of Mykolaiv City Community have been operating since November 2023, and an office of the Danish Embassy has been established in the city to act as an outpost of the embassy in the city and a point of contact for interaction with stakeholders. "I am grateful to the Government of Denmark and personally to Dan Jorgensen for their stable position in supporting Ukraine and Mykolaiv particularly. This is exemplary cooperation between the state, partners and local authorities," Kubrakov said.

Background: Earlier, Denmark and Sweden jointly announced a new military aid package for Ukraine worth about EUR240 million, which included infantry fighting vehicles. Before that, the Danish government announced plans for another aid package for Ukraine, which will include ammunition, tanks and drones. At the same time, the Danish government and parliamentary majority agreed on additional funding for the fund that financed support for Ukraine, worth 2.3 billion Danish kroner (EUR308 million) in 2023 and 23.5 billion Danish kroner (EUR3.15 billion) in 2025-2027.
