Most Danes back sending peacekeepers to Ukraine, poll shows

Around 53% of Danes are in favor of sending peacekeepers to Ukraine after Russia’s full-scale war ends, according to a poll published by Ritzau news agency on Feb. 21, Bloomberg reported.

Denmark has provided Ukraine with about $7.5 billion worth of military aid since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. It was also the first country to offer military aid to Ukraine through direct purchases from Ukraine’s defense industry.
