President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Prime Minister of Norway Jonas Gahr Støre in Oslo on Thursday.
Zelenskyy expressed his gratitude to Norway for its significant defense and financial support, assistance to Ukraine’s energy sector, and especially for the recent decision to increase its support for Ukraine to nearly $8 billion this year.
"We have managed to preserve our independence, and now, together with all of Europe, we are working on restoring peace and guaranteeing the security we so vitally need. I hope Norway’s role in this joint effort with all our partners will remain substantial," said Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
During the meeting, the parties discussed ways to bolster Ukraine’s defense capabilities. Key topics included improving air defense, supplying ammunition to Ukrainian forces, investing in the country's defense industry, and advancing joint production efforts.
The President expressed confidence that Europe requires a new wave of industrial and technological advancement to ensure the continent has all the resources needed for its defense and to strengthen its independence and competitiveness on the global stage.
Zelenskyy also urged Norway to play a more active role in security coalitions, with a focus on air defense, technological initiatives, and drone production.
Jonas Gahr Støre emphasized the importance of Ukraine’s cooperation with the U.S., European nations, and NATO in achieving a just peace. He also confirmed that Norway will strengthen its defense support for Ukraine.
