In 2025, Denmark launched the largest support program ever provided by the country to another state — the Transitional Support Program for Ukraine (UTP) with a total budget of 2.8 billion Danish kroner (approximately €375 million). About 60% of this amount, which is over €225 million, is directed specifically towards the recovery of Mykolaiv region, particularly the city of Mykolaiv. The remaining funds are allocated for financing projects in another 20 regions of Ukraine, including support for initiatives in Mykolaiv region.
