Oslo, Norway – Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre announced today that Norway will contribute up to NOK 1.6 billion to an initiative led by Czechia to provide much-needed artillery ammunition to Ukraine. This move comes in response to Ukraine’s urgent need for large quantities of artillery ammunition to defend against Russia’s war of aggression.
Prime Minister Støre stated, “Ukraine has an urgent need for large quantities of artillery ammunition to defend themselves against Russia’s war of aggression. Norway already supports Ukraine with artillery ammunition both from its own stocks and directly from the industry.”
He further added, “Today, we have decided to further contribute up to NOK 1.6 billion to an initiative led by Czechia to secure much-needed artillery ammunition to Ukraine as quickly as possible.”
This announcement underscores Norway’s commitment to supporting Ukraine in its defense efforts and its ongoing commitment to international peace and security.
