Details: During a visit to Oslo, Ukraine's defence minister agreed with Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Støre and Defence Minister Bjørn Arild Gram that Norway would join the Danish support format.

Rustem Umierov noted that this format directly finances production in Ukraine, which allows faster production and supply of the necessary weapons for our defence forces.

In addition, Umierov and ministers discussed during his visit a new format of cooperation – the Norwegian model.

Quote from Rustem Umierov: "We are talking about a new model of investing in Ukrainian defence technology companies. Details will come later."

Background: Thanks to the Danish model, which provides direct financing to manufacturers, Ukraine has already received €50 million, which was used to finance the production of Bohdana self-propelled artillery systems for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
