Norway is likely to keep aid for Ukraine close to current levels beyond next year, a senior opposition lawmaker signaled, citing a low chance of peace anytime soon.
Norway, a member of NATO and neighbor of Russia, has earmarked 85 billion kroner ($8.4 billion) in assistance to Ukraine in 2026, according to a draft budget that’s being negotiated by the ruling Labor Party and its leftist partners. There’s broad parliamentary backing to helping Ukraine.
