Details: The artillery shells can be used in several types of artillery weapons, including the M109 self-propelled howitzers that Western governments previously shipped to Ukraine.

"For the security of Europe and Norway, it is important that Ukraine succeeds in resisting Russia's attack. Ukraine needs international support in the form of military equipment and training of its own forces," said the country's Defence Minister Bjørn Arild Gram.

He has stated that Norway will continue to support Ukraine in 2023, and his department will check which weapons for Ukraine’s Armed Forces should be purchased directly from manufacturers.

Background: Norway allocates 1 billion kroner [approximately US$100 million] to restore the infrastructure of Ukraine after the Russian strikes.
