President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Minister of Defense of Norway Bjorn Arild Gramm. The head of state announced this on Friday, March 10.
“Norway has been supporting Ukraine since the first day of a full-scale war and has done a lot for our soldiers to be strong on the battlefield. We appreciate it,” Zelensky said.
The President stressed that the key priority of Ukraine is the strengthening of the Armed Forces. During the meeting, they discussed increasing the supply of weapons and accelerating the receipt of already announced assistance.
Also, special attention was paid to practical effective steps in the context of strengthening the air defense and missile defense of Ukraine, which are now being implemented.
“I thank the government, parliament and all the people of Norway for their comprehensive assistance to Ukraine and our people,” the head of state added.
Recall that in February, the Norwegian Parliament approved a five-year program to support Ukraine for $7.4 billion. Our country will receive this money regardless of the political composition of the Norwegian government in the future.
