Norway will provide 85 billion Norwegian krone (around $9.2 billion) in financial aid to Ukraine in the 2027 fiscal year, matching the amount given in 2026. The announcement was made by Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere on August 23, 2026, during a visit to Kyiv alongside Nordic and Baltic leaders [1, 2, 3, 4].
The 2027 package marks the third consecutive year Norway has committed 85 billion krone annually in support for Ukraine [3]. Of this total, approximately 70 billion krone ($7.5 billion) is allocated for military aid, while 15 billion krone ($1.6 billion) will fund civilian and humanitarian assistance [3]. Stoere said, "Supporting and rebuilding Ukraine is not assistance alone. It is an investment in Europe's own security" [1]. He added, "Norway will continue to support Ukraine's defense struggle" and sent a "clear signal" that Norway would stand by Ukraine with both civilian and military backing [3].
The aid comes amid rising tensions and attacks between Russia and Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that Kyiv's strikes on Russian economic targets have opened a "Pandora's box," prompting Moscow to retaliate against Ukraine's most sensitive economic sectors [1, 2, 4]. Both sides have escalated drone attacks targeting each other's economic infrastructure far beyond frontline combat zones [1, 2, 4].
Prime Minister Stoere's visit and announcement underscored Norway's continued commitment to Ukraine's defense and humanitarian needs in the face of ongoing conflict. The 2027 aid package follows identical allocations in 2026 and 2025, maintaining steady support as the war persists.
Norway’s next steps will involve allocating the 85 billion krone package across military and civilian projects throughout 2027, continuing direct cooperation with Ukrainian authorities and allied nations in the region [3].
