Norway will more than double its aid to Ukraine in 2025 to bring the annual total to $7.8 billion, Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store announced Thursday, expressing concern that Russia was “heavily arming.”
“The Norwegian aid will help Ukraine oppose Russia and (reinforce) the peace plan on which the European countries are working,” he said in a statement announcing the extra 50 billion kroner ($4.5 billion).
“Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine is in full swing and Russia is heavily arming itself,” Store said.
The announcement came as European Union leaders held a summit in Brussels to discuss the Russia-Ukraine war and Europe’s security amid concerns over relations with the US.
