Norwegian parties backed an aid package worth 75 billion Norwegian kroner for Ukraine to be spread out over five years.
All parties in the Storting, Norway’s parliament, backed the plan that the centre-left government first presented on February 6 apart from Rodt (The Red Party), a small far-left grouping.
The plan pledges 15 billion kroner annually in civilian and military aid between 2023 and 2027.
Most Norwegian parties also approved the government’s proposal to increase aid to developing countries most affected by the war in Ukraine by 5 billion kroner, in particular, because of the increase in food prices
