Denmark and Sweden have confirmed their support for financing and delivering US-made Patriot missile defense systems to Ukraine, aligning with a broader NATO-backed initiative following US President Donald Trump's announcement of a multi-billion dollar arms package. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen stated Denmark's readiness to contribute financially to the program, while Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson welcomed the US decision to facilitate increased sanctions against Russia and the delivery of Patriot systems and other weapons. Alongside Denmark and Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, and Norway have also expressed willingness to assist in supplying American weapons to Ukraine through NATO channels. Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre emphasized that delivering Patriot missiles to Ukraine is a top priority and can be achieved quickly, though he noted that Germany and Norway are awaiting formal guarantees from the United States before finalizing agreements. Meanwhile, Poland is engaged in talks to acquire a stake in a satellite group that supported Ukraine's resistance against Russia, and Norway has indicated preparedness to increase financial support for Ukrainian air defense.
