Denmark still uses volunteers before filling vacancies through a lottery, but a lottery backed by state coercion is still conscription. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen says Denmark is prepared to defend every inch of NATO territory, “including our own.” Denmark says it has supplied approximately €9.7 billion in military support and €1.1 billion in civilian assistance to Ukraine, excluding its indirect contributions through the European Union. Its national Ukraine Fund allocated DKK 60.4 billion, or roughly €8.1 billion, for military support between 2023 and 2028. Denmark has provided F-16 aircraft, artillery, tanks, missiles, drones, air-defense equipment, ammunition, training, and direct financing for Ukrainian weapons production.
