Norway allocates €830 million for equipping and training the Ukrainian brigade.

Norway, together with the Baltic countries, is preparing soldiers for one of the brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This brigade will be formed from existing smaller units. This was reported by the Norwegian government.

The Norwegian government supports Ukraine politically, economically, and militarily. Norway has allocated 10 billion Norwegian kroner for the development of Ukraine's land forces by 2025.

The brigade will be equipped with various types of weapons so that it can operate independently as a cohesive military unit on land. Typically, a brigade consists of 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers.

The project involves providing the brigade with the necessary equipment and training according to Ukraine's needs. This does not mean creating a new brigade, but rather forming it from already existing smaller units.

Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov noted that Norway will help equip Ukrainian brigades with modern weapons, armored vehicles, and technological solutions. This is extremely important support in light of current threats.

Additionally, the United Kingdom and Norway will finance a new military aid package for Ukraine worth $580 million (£450 million), which includes the delivery of drones to the front.

The Norwegian government has increased its support package for Ukraine from 35 billion Norwegian kroner to 85 billion Norwegian kroner (approximately $7.8 billion).
