Details: At the end of last year, the Norwegian parliament agreed to allocate a total of 35 billion Norwegian kroner ($3.12 billion) for military and civilian support for Ukraine in 2025.

"I can say today that we will return to parliament shortly with a proposal to enhance support", – Støre stated in the interview.

The Prime Minister of Norway is heading to London tomorrow, among other things, to meet with Volodymyr Zelensky. He will also meet with other European leaders attending the summit organized by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Støre noted that discussions in London will include relations with the new U.S. administration.

Discuss how they should approach the new administration in the United States.

"Yesterday I heard that he (Volodymyr Zelensky. – Ed.) still emphasizes the importance of relations with the United States and wants to find a way forward", – said the Norwegian Prime Minister.

He called it "absolutely essential" for the United States and Europe to contribute to achieving lasting peace in Ukraine.

In response to a question about how to trust the U.S. after the scandal in the White House on Friday, Støre said that one should not jump to conclusions.

"We had five or six weeks with Trump as president. I think we still need to work on understanding the implications of the style, approach, and words they use", – shared the Norwegian Prime Minister.

According to media reports, President Zelensky has already landed in Britain, where he arrived for the summit with European leaders, which will take place on Sunday.
