Fedorov thanked Sandvik for the decision to provide Ukraine with security support worth $7 billion in 2026 and the largest contribution to strengthening air defense through the PURL project among all partner countries in 2025.

Thanks to this, Ukraine has already received missiles that are repelling Russian attacks. He also thanked for the transfer of critical air defense system missiles from their warehouses last week to protect our energy from cruise missiles.

In addition, Fedorov thanked the Norwegian Minister of Defense for co-financing the transfer of Patriot systems from Germany and asked for Norway's support in the further development of Ukraine's Patriot program. He also invited Norway to join a large-scale project to support our units on the front line with various types of drones.

At that time, Ukraine will be able to provide access to data from DELTA and help Norway strengthen its own country with modern warfare experience. Separately, they discussed artillery needs. He emphasized the importance of supporting the Czech initiative and supplying long-range ammunition.
