In particular, artillery shells, anti-tank weapons and minesweepers were transferred. Among the donations are 5 thousand M72 anti-tank missiles and artillery shells, which are used in M109 self-propelled howitzers.

Let us recall that Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Bart Eide, at a joint briefing with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba in Kyiv, said that none of the allies is doing enough to support Ukraine. Bart Eide emphasized that he is communicating with allies to determine how Norway can be useful in providing more Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine. In addition, Eide said that his country will transfer F-16 fighter jets with the latest weapons to Ukraine. However, the minister refused to name the exact number of aircraft.
