The Norwegian government has decided to permit direct sales of weapons and defense products from the Norwegian defense industry to Ukrainian defense authorities. This policy change came into effect on January 1, 2024, according to the press service of the country's government.
"In the extraordinary security situation resulting from Russia's war of aggression, it is crucial that we continue to support Ukraine. Support for Ukraine is important for Norwegian and European security. We must plan for the possibility that the illegal war of aggression may be prolonged. The Government has therefore decided to permit direct sales of weapons and defense-related products from Norwegian defense industry to Ukraine," stated Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide.
Subject to compliance with requirements for end-user verification and control, the government has decided to permit direct sales of weapons and defense products from the Norwegian defense industry to Ukrainian defense agencies.
"This change means that we are safeguarding fundamental defense and security policy interests for Norway together with our allies. The Government employs a number of instruments to facilitate the important role of the defense industry in the current security policy situation," said Minister of Defense Bjørn Arild Gram.
