ISTANBUL (AA) – Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said he held an online meeting with Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen and discussed strengthening cooperation in defense production, including work on F-16 ammunition and Patriot air defense systems.

In a statement shared on US social media company X, Fedorov said Friday the discussion covered “strengthening cooperation on F-16 ammunition, Patriot systems, joint defence production, and support for Ukrainian brigades.”

“Denmark is a reliable partner delivering real results for Ukraine’s defence. Thank you for the strong and consistent support,” he added.

Fedorov also discussed joint drone production and military training in talks with Canadian Defense Minister David McGuinty via video link.

"Canada is transferring AIM missiles to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense and counter cruise missiles — delivery already underway," Fedorov said.

Denmark and Canada have been among Ukraine’s active supporters since the start of the war, contributing military aid, training programs, and backing initiatives aimed at strengthening Ukraine’s long-term defense industry and battlefield readiness.
