5 billion Norwegian crowns to a total of 10 billion Norwegian crowns in 2023," said Prime Minister Jonas Gar Stere. The government emphasized that Norway has already promised to provide Kyiv with 15 billion crowns for civilian and military support, but "Ukraine now needs additional support", so the amount has been increased. Norway will also increase the contribution to a comprehensive NATO assistance package, providing 300 million crowns, ie more than $ 28 million.

"This is a clear testimony to our long -term support for Ukraine's reform efforts and will help bring Ukraine closer to the Alliance," said Norwegian Prime Minister. Despite the fact that the government's press service did not disclose the details of the content of the package of Ukraine's support, this information, with reference to the statement of the Defense Minister, Bjorn Arily Gram, was submitted to Le Monde on July 12.
