The Norwegian government on Monday proposed maintaining its aid to Ukraine at 85 billion kroner ($8.4 billion) in 2026, the same level as for this year, the office of Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said. The proposal, made as Store was visiting Kyiv, must be ratified by parliament and if passed would take to 275 billion kroner ($27.1 billion) the total aid, both civilian and military, which Norway will send the country for the 2023-2030 period.
