Norway Prime Minister Jonas Gar Star noted that this is one of the key needs for the Ukrainian army, so Norway is contributing.
Another 1 billion crowns are provided to the European Peace Fund, through which the EU also funds military assistance for Ukraine – the contribution will also be used for artillery ammunition.
“Europe should take more responsibility for the support of Ukraine in its struggle for freedom. Our contributions to the European Peace Fund and our joint support for the Czech initiative emphasize that Europe supports Ukraine,” Stereor said.
Before that, Norway supported the acquisition of ammunition for Ukraine from Norwegian producers in cooperation with other countries in Northern Europe, and transferred shells from their warehouses and shared technologies so that shells could be produced in Ukraine under a license.
Recall:
- At the beginning of March, Norway agreed to increase Ukrainian assistance in 2025 by 50 billion Norwegian crowns – up to 85 billion Norwegian crowns (almost $ 8 billion).
- The Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky said last week that the Czech initiative to purchase ammunition for Ukraine has sufficient resources to ensure their monthly supply by September 2025.
