Source Norways Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg, as reported by European Pravda, citing Norwegian public broadcaster NRK Details Stoltenberg noted that the Norwegian government has approved a support package totalling NOK 50 billion in addition to the previous NOK 35 billion aid.
This brings the total amount of funding to support Ukraine this year to NOK 85 billion.
We are tripling our military support, the minister stated, noting that the funds will be allocated abroad, ensuring no strain on the Norwegian economy.
Background In early March, the Norwegian parliament, the Storting, backed the funding increase to support Ukraine.
Earlier, Oslo approved the NOK 75 billion about US7 billion Nansen programme, which guarantees longterm support for Ukraine until 2027, providing NOK 15 billion about US1.4 billion annually.
However, this year, Norwegian authorities proposed increasing the programmes funding to 135 billion and extending it for another three years until 2030.
