– We must be there for Ukraine in this difficult time, said the Norwegian Prime Minister at a joint press conference on Wednesday afternoon.
– In Norway, we will soon have a broad parliamentary agreement in place to increase support for Ukraine and support their ability to defend themselves, Støre said when he was given the floor.
He pointed out that the support for Ukrainian defense industry takes this work forward to the next generation.
– Another dimension is to support Ukraine in the protection of the country’s electrical infrastructure. We know that Russia is strategically targeting this nerve in the Ukrainian economy.
Støre also pointed out that the Nordics and the Baltics cover a region that stretches from the Arctic to the Baltic Sea.
– This is a group of countries that do not threaten anyone, but we will not allow anyone to threaten us. That is why it is very useful to come together and agree on how to proceed, concluded Støre.
