Norway that has been refraining from providing military support for Ukraine to fight against Russian aggression will reconsider its position. 

According to European Pravda, NRK reported that this information has been released by the Prime Minister of Norway Jonas Gahr Støre.

On Friday, Jonas Gahr Støre said that Norway cannot depart from its principle not to supply weapons and ammunition in the conflict zones, which is enshrined in the Parliament’s decision from 1959.

However, the next day, Jonas Gahr Støre stated that he will reconsider his position, and Norway will probably provide some equipment for Ukraine.

"This situation is very special, and we should again look at the provision of the legislation," stated the Prime Minister of Norway.
