Nov 19 (Reuters) - Denmark is making a new donation of about $138 million for development of Ukraine's arms industry, its latest contribution to the sector, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Tuesday.

"And today I'm pleased to announce a new Danish donation to Ukraine. More than 130 million euros ($138 million) directly to Ukraine's defence industry because we know now what your industry is capable of," Frederiksen told a news briefing alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

"Because we know that these investments make a real difference on the battlefield. And make no mistake, our support is long-term."

Zelenskiy said Ukraine and Denmark had created a "special model" to bring in investments from other countries.
