May 4, 2023
Norway has allocated 4.5 billion Norwegian kroner (378 million euros) in aid to Ukraine.
This is reported with reference to the website of the Norwegian government.
The money will be used for humanitarian aid to Ukrainians, as well as the repair and maintenance of public infrastructure to provide the population with electricity and water.
Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre informed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about the new aid package during a meeting in Helsinki.
"We are in close dialogue with the authorities in Ukraine to ensure that aid reaches those who are most in need. Russia’s war of aggression is causing inconceivable suffering and wide-scale destruction every single day. Our support will help to alleviate the situation of the Ukrainian people, who have endured so much," he said.
It was previously reported that Norway will spend more than $1 billion more on defense in the next few years to meet NATO requirements.
