Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere made the announcement during a visit to Kyiv, accompanied by other Nordic and Baltic leaders, as a demonstration of solidarity with Ukraine amidst its ongoing conflict. Stoere emphasized that this support is not merely assistance but an investment in Europe's security. The commitment comes as both Russia and Ukraine intensify drone campaigns targeting each other's economic infrastructure, extending beyond the frontlines of the war, which is nearing its four-and-a-half-year mark.
