Norway to provide over $9 billion to Ukraine in 2027

Norway intends to provide Ukraine with an additional 85 billion Norwegian kroner, equivalent to $9.2 billion, in financial support for fiscal year 2027. This commitment matches the funding allocated for the previous year, signaling continued Norwegian backing for Ukraine amidst its conflict with Russia.

The substantial aid package will be directed towards both military and humanitarian expenses, according to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. Støre was in Kyiv alongside leaders from Nordic and Baltic regions to demonstrate solidarity with Ukraine.

"Support and reconstruction of Ukraine is not just aid. It is an investment in the security of Europe itself," Støre stated, emphasizing the broader geopolitical implications of supporting Ukraine's resilience and recovery.

The announcement comes as both Russia and Ukraine intensify drone attacks targeting each other's economic infrastructure. Russian President Vladimir Putin had previously warned Kyiv about the consequences of attacking Russian economic targets, vowing retaliation against Ukraine's "most sensitive economic sectors."
