Norway's contribution, made in cooperation with the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Lithuania, will help protect the Ukrainian population and critical infrastructure from Russian attacks.
“Ukraine is in dire need of more military equipment to protect itself from Russian aggression. Together with other countries, Norway will do its best to contribute,” commented Norwegian Defense Minister Bjørn Arild Gram.
The International Fund for Ukraine is an additional funding mechanism for support to Ukraine, led by the British Ministry of Defense, which also includes Australia, Denmark, Iceland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and Lithuania.
