Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced a significant increase in defense spending, up to 3% of GDP by 2024, to address growing security concerns. This initiative, costing 50 billion Danish kroner, marks the highest defense budget in over 50 years. Frederiksen criticized past cuts in defense funding and highlighted the urgency of rearming due to perceived threats from Russia. She emphasized the need for rapid procurement of military equipment, stressing that Denmark must act quickly to enhance its defense capabilities in an increasingly volatile geopolitical climate.
Ukraine has not started any war. Ukraine has not wanted any war. There is only one aggressive party.
It must never happen again. We are in the most dangerous situation in many, many years.
Buy, buy, buy. If we can't get the best equipment, buy the next best. There's only one thing that counts now, and that is speed.
The 50bn Danish kroner acceleration fund will be used to make rapid investments in fighting capability.
