Norway Increases Aid to Ukraine, Approaching $8 Billion

At a meeting on April 4, the Norwegian government approved an increase in aid to Ukraine in 2025 by $4.6 billion, bringing the total support to $7.8 billion.

This was announced by Norwegian Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg, citing the Norwegian media outlet NRK.

‘We are tripling our military support,’ the minister emphasized, adding that the funds will be spent abroad and therefore will not place additional pressure on Norway’s domestic economy.

The increased funding enjoys broad support across the Norwegian parliament.

Amid a brief pause in U.S. military aid to Ukraine from March 3 to March 11, European countries have intensified their support.

As The Gaze previously reported, on 3 March the Danish government decided to provide Ukraine with the 25th military assistance package worth $970 million.  

Latvia will supply 12,000 drones worth €17 million, while the Netherlands has allocated €500 million for drones.  Sweden, in turn, pledged its largest aid package since the 2022 Russian invasion, totaling $1.6 billion.
