Details: The Norwegian foreign minister said that US President Donald Trump's decision on military aid to Ukraine was an important moment for strengthening support.

He said that increased efforts, coordinated through NATO, would make support more targeted and sustainable and would send a clear signal to the Kremlin that they were united.

Eide noted that US military support for Ukraine is extremely important, especially in the areas of air defence and artillery.

The minister added that the US signalling its readiness to sell more weapons and air defence equipment to Ukraine was a positive development, and several European countries had expressed their willingness to help finance these steps.
