Norway’s $940 Million Ukraine Aid: Training, Equipment, and the Limits of Support
Norway will contribute $937 million in 2025 to equip and train a Ukrainian military brigade, leading a Nordic-Baltic effort focusing on modular units rather than a completely new brigade. This initiative involves close collaboration with Ukrainian authorities and allies, prioritizing training to meet Ukraine’s specific needs. The approach contrasts with previous controversial attempts to create entirely new brigades. Additionally, Norway pledged $130 million to a joint UK-led military aid package for Ukraine, supplementing earlier commitments for artillery shells and other military equipment.
