Norway allocates $453 million to supply Ukraine with ammunition
The Norwegian government is contributing EUR332 million ($362 million) to the Czech-led 155mm ammunition procurement program to support the Ukrainian military, according to an announcement on April 7.
Additionally, Norway will provide EUR83 million ($91 million) through the European Peace Facility (EPF).
“This is the primary need—ammunition—that Ukrainians have clearly conveyed to us, and European countries are working together to meet it,” said Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
Støre reiterated that Europe must assume more responsibility “for Ukraine’s fight for freedom.”
According to the statement, under the EPF funding, Ukraine will receive military aid that includes artillery ammunition, air defense systems, and orders for Ukrainian arms manufacturers.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
