"His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon is in Ukraine today. This visit underlines Norway's unwavering solidarity with the Ukrainian people and our deep respect for their resilience. Norway will continue to provide strong political, military and humanitarian support," the Norwegian ministry said in a statement.

The Prince was accompanied to Kyiv by Norwegian Energy Minister Terje Aasland.
