During 2023, Norway provided a total of about NOK 10 billion in military aid to Ukraine in the form of donations from the defense sector and industry, grants to international funds and mechanisms, and training of Ukrainian personnel.

We will remind you that on Tuesday, February 27, the European Parliament voted to allocate 50 billion euros of aid to Ukraine.

Before the vote, at the summit in Brussels, all 27 member states of the European Union agreed on a support package for Ukraine in the amount of 50 billion euros.

The main topic of the summit in Brussels on February 1 was an attempt to reach an agreement on a package of financial assistance to Ukraine worth 50 billion euros for four years, which was blocked by Hungary at the previous summit in December.
