"A billion kroner [over $95 million] will go to Nammo's [Nordic Ammunition Company] specific projects to increase the production of artillery ammunition. A billion kroner will be earmarked for other projects of the Norwegian defense industry," the prime minister said in a statement published by the Norwegian government.

Norway is one of Ukraine's major military aid donors. It has provided around 11 billion kroner worth of military aid to Ukraine in 2023 alone and plans to continue supporting Kiev militarily during what its government says may become a prolonged conflict.
