Following his visit to Norway, Zelensky announced that Ukraine will receive about $150 million to purchase gas for the winter, making it the third energy support package from Norway this year.

He reported this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

"Today we have a new package of energy support from Norway – already the third this year – amounting to about 150 million dollars for gas purchases this winter. Energy support is extremely important," he said.

Zelensky expressed gratitude to Norway and its Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store for the assistance.

According to Zelensky, during his meeting with Store, among other things, they discussed the consequences of the latest Russian shelling.

"I am grateful for Norway's solidarity and condolences. We discussed Ukraine's needs for air defense systems and missiles for them, as well as other steps that can strengthen Ukraine during the winter. We also discussed our defense cooperation separately – the production of drones and missiles, and the expansion of the PURL initiative. We coordinated our positions and upcoming meetings to be held in Europe this week," Zelensky stated.
