Norway Pledges Over $8 Billion in Military and Civilian Aid to Ukraine

Norway will continue its support for Ukraine in 2026, with the government planning to allocate around $8.5 billion in military and civilian assistance.

This is stated on the Norwegian government website.

As noted, Norway seeks to maintain a high level of support, planning to allocate about $8.5 billion for military and civilian assistance.

“In the current situation, it is important to confirm our continued strong support for Ukraine — political, financial, and military,” emphasized Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.

If the Norwegian parliament approves the budget proposal, it will raise the total support for Ukraine to 275 billion Norwegian kroner — more than $27 billion.

There is currently no final decision on the distribution of funds; however, most of the funding is expected to be used to support international initiatives and procurement within the Ukrainian defense industry.

“Over the past six months, Russia has intensified its drone and missile strikes on Ukraine. Children are dying, entire families are perishing, and buildings are collapsing. Our budget proposal for next year will ensure that we continue to support Ukraine in its fight,” the Prime Minister assured.

In addition, Støre noted the necessity of increasing pressure on Russia. At the same time, he added that Norway supports the initiative of US President Donald Trump to launch a peace settlement process and define security guarantees for Ukraine.

Earlier, the Norwegian government announced the allocation of about 7 billion Norwegian kroner ($696 million) for the supply of Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems and modern radars to Ukraine.

Recall that before the start of the new heating season, the Norwegian government allocated almost $100 million to provide Ukraine with sufficient energy.
