President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy: "I spoke with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store. I thanked him for today’s unanimous decision by the Norwegian parliament Stortinget to increase Norway’s aid to Ukraine this year from $3.2 billion to $7.7 billion. This is a timely and necessary decision that should serve as an example for all our partners. The funds will be partly directed towards weapons production in Ukraine and strengthening our energy security. Thus, Ukraine’s negotiating positions on the path to a just and lasting peace will become even stronger. I am grateful to Norway for demonstrating responsibility and readiness to increase its contribution to peace and stability in Europe".
