Denmark launches Ukraine Transition Programme with DKK 2.8 billion budget
Denmark will launch its Ukraine Transition Programme in 2025, allocating DKK 2.8 billion to support Ukraine’s urgent recovery, energy security and democratic reforms, including EU integration.
Denmark’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs says Denmark will launch the Ukraine Transition Programme (UTP) in 2025 as its largest country support programme, with a budget of DKK 2.8 billion.
According to the ministry, the programme is part of Denmark’s long-term commitment to support Ukraine in responding to urgent needs stemming from Russia’s full-scale invasion and in supporting Ukraine’s efforts to rebuild, reform and move closer to the European Union.
The ministry says Denmark has provided a total of DKK 74.4 billion in support to Ukraine since the invasion.
The UTP is described as strengthening the civilian dimension of Danish support and focusing on three areas:
- Strengthening resilience and urgent recovery, with a special focus on Mykolaiv
- Energy security, green transition and jobs across Ukraine
- Democratic reforms and EU integration, including human rights and free media
The ministry says the city and region of Mykolaiv will account for 60% of the programme. Through the Mykolaiv–Denmark Partnership, the UTP aims to help rebuild essential infrastructure and support what the ministry describes as a safer, greener and more resilient future for local residents.
