Therefore, the total amount of aid will reach 135 billion crowns (11.5 billion euros). Until now, they were 75 billion crowns (6.4 billion euros) until 2027.
Norway had already pledged 22 billion kroner (1.9 billion euros) in military and civilian aid this year, and an additional five billion kroner would go to “important civilian needs,” Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gaard Steere said.
“We live in a very dangerous situation in Europe,” he added.

According to a document of the German Ministry of Finance, with which the AFP agency became acquainted on Thursday, Germany plans to increase military aid to Ukraine by almost 400 million euros this year, in addition to the already planned 7.5 billion euros.
