Norway allocates another 415 million euros for purchase of artillery ammunition for Ukraine
Norway is allocating NOK 4 billion for the Czech initiative to buy artillery ammunition for Ukraine, and another billion for the same needs through the mechanisms of the European Peace Fund: the total amount is more than EUR 400 million.
According to Censor.NET , citing Yevropeiska Pravda, this was reported by the NRK edition.
It is noted that Norway provides 4 billion kroner - approximately 332 million euros - for the Czech initiative to purchase artillery shells for Ukraine around the world. Norway also allocated funds for the Czech initiative in 2024.
Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre emphasized that this is one of the key needs for the Ukrainian army, so Norway is making its contribution.
Another 1 billion kroner is being provided for the European Peace Fund, through which the EU also finances military aid for Ukraine - the contribution will also be used for artillery ammunition.
Europe must take more responsibility for supporting Ukraine in its fight for freedom. Our contributions to the European Peace Fund and our joint support for the Czech initiative emphasize that Europe stands by Ukraine," said Støre.
As a reminder, the Norwegian government has agreed to increase its support for Ukraine by another 50 billion kroner (approximately $4.6 billion) in 2025. This will bring the total amount of aid to 85 billion kroner ($7.8 billion).
Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala also said that under the Czech initiative, Ukraine could receive an amount of ammunition in 2025 that would be equal to the amount supplied in 2024.
