Norway preparing a large aid package for Ukraine

Norway is preparing a large aid package for Ukraine, including air defense systems and other military equipment, Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said on Friday.

The package, which is still being finalized, is expected to include anti-aircraft missiles, artillery, and other weapons systems, Støre said.

The announcement comes as Ukraine continues to fight a Russian invasion that has killed thousands of people and displaced millions more.

Norway has been one of the strongest supporters of Ukraine since the war began, providing both humanitarian and military aid.

The new aid package is a sign of Norway's continued commitment to supporting Ukraine's defense against Russian aggression.

Here are some additional details about the aid package:

• The package is expected to be worth around $1 billion.
• The package will include both lethal and non-lethal aid.
• The package is still being finalized, and the specific contents may change.

Norway's decision to provide air defense systems to Ukraine is a significant development, as it will help Ukraine to protect itself from Russian air attacks.
