“Ukrainians will continue to have a great and urgent need for ammunition to fight for freedom against Russia. Together with other EU and NATO countries, Denmark is preparing various military aid. Our cooperation with Norway is an important example of this,” said the Minister of Defense of Denmark, Troels Lund Poulsen.

In his turn Norwegian Defense Minister Bjørn Arild Gram emphasized: "Ukraine has a significant need for artillery ammunition. Norway will contribute where we can. It is important for both Europe's and Norway's security that Ukraine succeeds in standing up to Russia's attack. Norway has contributed heavily to Ukraine through 2022, and will continue its support in the years to come."
