Ukraine is improving the quality of its international military support package, as Denmark has agreed to supply 15,000 long-range artillery rounds.
Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced on Telegram that Kyiv has been working with partners to increase the volume of aid and redirect it toward capabilities that have the biggest battlefield impact – air defense systems, long-range artillery and Ukrainian-made drones.

“We have three unchanged priorities: air defense, long-range artillery and Ukrainian drones,” Fedorov said, adding that Ukraine is “fighting for every dollar of international support” while seeking to ensure partners’ funds are used as efficiently as possible.
Denmark reallocates support to long-range artillery
Ukrainian authorities praised Denmark’s prompt response to Kyiv’s request to revise its planned assistance, shifting resources from short-range artillery ammunition to long-range solutions better suited to current battlefield demands.
Reportedly, a portion of the munitions has already arrived in Ukraine and is being integrated into Defense Forces operations.
Why long-range ammunition matters more than ever
Long-range artillery ammunition has become one of the key needs of Ukraine’s frontline units. As drone “kill zones” expand and unmanned systems increasingly threaten forward positions, longer-ranger rounds allow Ukrainian forces to strike Russian troops and critical infrastructure from safer distances.

Ground robotics take on the riskiest work
According to the Ministry of Defense, the Ukrainian military has carried out more than 50,000 logistics and evacuation missions using GRCs (Ground Robotic Complexes) – remotely operated, AI-supported vehicles that shift some of the riskiest battlefield work away from soldiers.
“Today, GRCs regularly perform logistics and evacuation missions in high-risk areas,” Fedorov said. The vehicles deliver supplies such as weapons and ammunition and evacuate the wounded from areas where lingering “poses an additional threat.”
Ensuring maximum battlefield impact
Long-range artillery complements Ukraine’s growing drone strike and broader technological capabilities, while helping offset Russia’s attempts to adapt its own battlefield logistics.
“Together with our partners, we focus resources on solutions that deliver the greatest effect on the battlefield,” Fedorov said, thanking Denmark for its “trust, swift communication, and readiness to adapt its support to the real needs of the front.”
“It is precisely such decisions that allow us to quickly strengthen the capabilities of the Defense Forces where they are needed most,” he added, saying the Defense Ministry continues to work on President Volodymyr Zelensky’s instructions to maximize defensive results and degrade Russia’s military potential.
