Danish ambassador to Ukraine concludes his tenure
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine said this in a statement, according to Ukrinform.
The minister expressed gratitude to Mikkelsen for his personal dedication to the Ukrainian-Danish partnership and noted that the ties established during his tenure go far beyond formal diplomatic relations.
"Denmark has become a global leader in providing aid to Ukraine relative to GDP (2.89%) and has provided our country with support exceeding EUR 9.9 billion. In addition, Denmark's unique partnership with Mykolaiv and the Mykolaiv region has become a model of regional cooperation for other international partners. We greatly appreciate this," Sybiha said.
He also highlighted the recent launch of the long-term humanitarian support program, the Ukraine Transition Program, and Denmark's unprecedented military assistance, including the delivery of the entire artillery arsenal, provision of F-16 fighter jets, and the introduction of the Danish model of direct investment in Ukraine's defense sector.
The officials discussed the further development of Ukraine-Denmark relations on the path toward a just peace and the restoration of security in Europe.
Sybiha wished Mikkelsen success in his future endeavors.
On September 12, Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen announced in Kyiv the launch of a new project to support Ukraine's resilience, the Ukraine Transition Program, with funding of EUR 375 million.
