Norway announced new aid to Ukraine: 300 million euros will go to the energy sector

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre announced a new €1 billion aid package for Ukraine, which will be allocated for humanitarian needs and support for civilians. In particular, 300 million euros are envisaged to support Ukraine's energy infrastructure. This was stated by him during the "Support Ukraine" summit, reports the correspondent of UNN.

We will continue to provide strong support to Ukraine, support those principles that are the basis for a lasting and just peace. I want to reiterate that by uniting our voices we become stronger. Regarding Norway, I want to emphasize that we will allocate one billion euros for humanitarian support and support for civilians

Støre also reported that an additional 300 million euros will be allocated to support Ukraine's energy infrastructure, taking into account the request of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In addition, he announced financial guarantees of 4 million euros for the reconstruction and improvement of Ukraine's infrastructure.

"And we have also opened a direct channel of investment in your industry - 300 million euros will be allocated to your industry. And perhaps we can cooperate with you in many areas, especially when it comes to drones," Støre added.

Also, in 2025, Norway plans to allocate 3.5 billion euros to continue supporting Ukraine.
