Norway Considers $2.7 Billion Ukraine Aid Increase for 2025
Norway’s initial 2025 budget proposed significantly reducing aid to Ukraine, but following parliamentary discussions, Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre announced a potential increase to 30 billion kroner ($2.7 billion). This would more than double the proposed funding and represent a substantial commitment exceeding Norway’s current 2024 aid level. The final decision is pending, but the proposed sum would solidify Norway’s position as a major contributor to Ukrainian support efforts. This follows recent pledges, including a 500-million-euro aid package focused partly on military assistance.
