Norway is considering spending 75 billion kroner ($7.3 billion) over the next five years on assistance for Ukraine, ravaged by the Russian invasion.
Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store discussed a plan with party leaders to grant 15 billion kroner a year for military and civilian support, he said in a statement to Bloomberg after meeting with other party leaders on Monday. The funds will be used in a flexible manner, in line with Ukraine’s needs, he said.
