Norway to provide €7 billion aid to Ukraine over five years

Norway will provide assistance to Ukraine worth about €7 billion over the next five years.

That's according to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"Norway will provide assistance to Ukraine in the amount of about €7 billion over the next five years," said Ambassador of Norway to Ukraine Helene Sand Andersen at a meeting with the leadership of the State Border Guard Service.

The parties also discussed the prospects for bilateral cooperation in the field of border security and further cooperation in the context of Ukraine's deterrence of full-scale Russian aggression.

As Ukrinform reported, in early July, the Bulgarian government decided to join the joint purchase of ammunition for Ukraine under the European Defense Agency (EDA) project, which already involves 24 EU member states and Norway.
