- Ukraine will receive military and civilian aid from Norway in the total amount of 75 billion kroner for a five-year period.

Norwegian funds will be used to install solar panels in medical facilities in Kharkiv region
120 million kroner from the allocated amount will go to repair work in the Kharkiv region. With these funds, solar panels will be installed in seven maternity hospitals and operating rooms in the region.
We are conducting a close dialogue with Ukraine on how it can use these funds most effectively. Ukrainians themselves best understand what is needed. But it is important to quickly start repairing the infrastructure, before the onset of winter.
