An exhibition titled “Defending the Sky: Drones in the War in Ukraine” has opened at the Sea War Museum Jutland in Thyborøn, Kingdom of Denmark. The exhibition is dedicated to russia’s war against Ukraine and the role of unmanned technologies in modern warfare.
The exhibition project was implemented through cooperation between the Sea War Museum Jutland and the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War, with the support of the Folketing and the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
At the heart of the exhibition are authentic russian drones and fragments of downed unmanned aerial vehicles used by russia to attack Ukrainian cities. These objects come from the War Museum’s collection.
At the opening, Andrii Yanevskyi, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the Kingdom of Denmark, emphasized that the drones displayed in the exhibition are the very weapons russia uses in its daily attacks on Ukraine, often launching hundreds of them at once. He stressed that the aggressor state continues to invest resources in technologies of destruction and killing, rather than in innovations designed to improve people’s lives.
In his speech, Søren Gade, Speaker of the Folketing, the Danish Parliament, emphasized that the exhibition is not meant to romanticize war. Rather, its purpose is to preserve the memory of those who have lost their lives, to show the consequences of war, and to remind the world of the price Ukrainians pay every day for freedom.
