Also, Norway can provide additional armed support to Ukraine.

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, declares that Norway is ready to provide Ukraine with the required amount of gas this winter.

The head of state said this in an evening address to Ukrainians. In his opinion, Norway’s role in the defense of Europe can become historic.

“I thank Norway for the very powerful decisions that have already been adopted and are still being prepared. This also applies to armed support. Norway’s role can become truly historic in the defense of Europe if we implement everything we are talking about now,” Zelenskyy said.

The President added that this concerns the support of the Ukrainian energy system.

“In particular, I thank Norway for its willingness to help provide Ukraine with the necessary amount of gas for this winter,” the president said.

The war in Ukraine: help from Norway

As reported, today, January 3, Zelensky had a telephone conversation with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Har Stere. The head of state told the Norwegian prime minister about Ukraine’s urgent defense needs.

Last year, the Norwegian government decided to provide financing in the amount of 195 million dollars for the purchase of gas for Ukraine.

In addition, it was reported that Norway will send ten bridges to Ukraine to restore traffic in areas affected by hostilities.
