Fuel for Kievs long-range weapon will reportedly be made on Danish soil
The fuel for Ukraine's new Flamingo long-range cruise missile will be produced in Denmark, broadcaster DR reported on Thursday, citing a government memo.
The facility will reportedly be located near the Skrydstrup air base in the south of the country and owned by FPRT, a subsidiary of the Ukrainian company Fire Point.
According to Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, the weapon, unveiled last month, can travel up to 3,000 kilometers - far enough to reach Siberia. Mass production is not expected for several months, he said.
Denmark is expected to pass a law next week granting the Ukrainian company exemptions from certain regulations and immunity from civil complaints, DR said. Production is scheduled to begin on December 1.
Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen previously stated that Ukrainian weapons manufacturers are "on the way" to starting production on Danish soil.
British media have questioned whether the Flamingo was actually developed in Ukraine, pointing to similarities with the British-made FP-5 cruise missile unveiled earlier this year. Fire Point is also reportedly facing a probe by Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau over suspicions of misleading the government on pricing and deliveries.
Russia has repeatedly said that no amount of foreign aid to Kiev would stop its troops, and has listed the halt of arms deliveries to Ukraine among its conditions for a ceasefire.
