Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, who arrived on a visit to Kyiv, has announced the continuation of military support for Ukraine in 2026.

"I announced that the support for Ukraine in 2025 will be continued in 2026. This means in monetary terms $8.5 billion in 2026, which I will propose to the parliament. In the past, the parliament has unanimously supported our Nansen Support Program. And I am confident that we will be able to maintain this high level of support," he said at a joint press conference with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Monday.

The Nansen Support Program for Ukraine is a Norwegian civilian and military support program worth NOK 75 billion for the period 2023–2027. The distribution between civilian and military support is determined annually in accordance with Ukraine's needs.
