Details
"President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska arrived in Norway on Wednesday afternoon," the report says.
The country's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre was present at the airport to meet the couple.
"Norway supports Ukraine in its pursuit of a lasting and just peace that the Ukrainian people deserve," Støre said in a press release.
The President is touring Europe and will hold talks with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, as well as other officials, before heading to the Swedish city of Linköping, where the defense company Saab is building the Jas Gripen fighter jet.
According to Reuters, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson stated that he and Zelenskyy would discuss a possible large export deal with Sweden.
Kristersson later told public broadcaster SVT that he and Zelenskyy would "look at one of the best fighter jets in the world," but did not specify whether a Gripen deal was on the agenda.
He had previously stated that simply transferring Gripen to Ukraine was not currently being considered. However, this does not rule out an export order to strengthen Ukrainian air defense in the long term.
Due to limited time, the meeting with the Norwegians will take place at Gardermoen - Oslo Airport, the publication writes.
It is reported that the main item on the agenda of the meeting with Norwegian Prime Minister Støre will likely be a new European peace initiative for Ukraine, which Støre signed this week with Zelenskyy and several European leaders.
The statement says that the war must be stopped immediately, and the ceasefire must be based on the current front line within the territory of Ukraine.
