Denmark will transfer its artillery and ammunition to Ukraine, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said speaking during the Munich Ukrainian Lunch on Saturday, February 17.

"It doesn't matter what the US comes up with. We Europeans have to defend ourselves. This is a war on the European continent. To do this, we must give Ukraine what they need now. I think it is very important, of course, to talk about the long term ... Ukraine is asking us for ammunition now, artillery now. We, Denmark, have decided to donate our entire artillery to Ukraine. I am sorry, but the issue is not just about production. Europe still has military equipment. It has to be transferred to Ukraine," the prime minister said.

According to her, if Russia does not want peace, then European countries "must defend themselves."

Frederiksen said regardless of what happens in the United States, Europe must bear responsibility for Europe.
