Source European Pravda, citing NTB, a Norwegian news agency Details Initially, the Norwegian government allocated NOK 15 billion approximately US1.35 billion in the state budget for Ukraine in the coming year, but the opposition deemed this insufficient.
Following negotiations, the government and opposition agreed to raise the amount to NOK 30 billion approximately US2.7 billion, which was further increased after discussions on 28 November.
Quote from Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Stre This is an important signal for Ukraine, which is enduring severe trials, and it sends a message to those attacking. Last year, Norway approved the Nansen Programme, allocating NOK 75 billion approximately US6.75 billion for longterm support to Ukraine through 2027equivalent to NOK 15 billion approximately US1.35 billion annually.
This year, the Norwegian government proposed increasing the programmes funding to NOK 135 billion approximately US12.15 billion and extending it for an additional three years, through 2030.
